Projection Under uniform Acceleration

Question

A stone is projected from the top of a tower with velocity 20 ms–1 making an angle 300 with the horizontal. If the total time of flight is 5 s and g = 10 ms–2,

Difficult
Solution

\large - h = u\sin \theta t - \frac{1}{2}g{t^2}

\large \Rightarrow h = - 20\;\frac{1}{2}(5) + \frac{1}{2}(10){(5)^2}

\large h = - 50 + 125 = 75m

Height from point of projection

\large = \frac{{{u^2}{{\sin }^2}\theta }}{{2g}}\\large =\frac{(20)^2(\frac{1}{2})^2}{{(2)}(10)}=\frac{100}{20}=5\;m

Total height from ground = 75 + 5 = 80 m
