A ball is thrown up from the top of a tower at 20 m/s velocity. It took the ball 6 sec to fall to the bottom. How high is the tower?
60 m
u = +20 m/s
a = -10 m/s2
t = 6s
∴s=ut+12at2
= 20(6)+12(−10)(6)2
= 120−5×36
= 120 - 180
= -60 cm
∴Displacement is negative as it is in the negative if direction. Thus, height at the tower is 60 cm.
