Question

The velocity-time graph for the vertical component of the velocity of a body thrown upwards from the ground and landing on the roof of a building is given in the figure. The height of the building is :

• A. 50 m
• B. 40 m
• C. 20 m
• D. 30 m
• E. 10 m

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

40 m

We know that,
Height = area under v-t graph
So, height $=\frac{1}{2}\times 30\times 3-\frac{1}{2}\times 10\times 1$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times 90-\frac{1}{2}\times 10$
$=45-5=40m$
