Question Details

A body is dropped from a height. If it falls for 3.0 s and g = 10 m/s2, its final velocity (v) is ______________.

Options

A

10 m/s

B

30 m/s

C

40 m/s

D

20 m/s

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

30 m/s

Solution :

The correct answer is 30 m/s.

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Identify the given values:

• Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s (since the body is dropped from rest)
• Time taken (t) = 3.0 s
• Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s2

2. Formula:

We use the first equation of motion under gravity:

v=u+gt

3. Calculation:

Substitute the given values into the equation:

v=0+(10×3.0)

v=30 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the body after falling for 3.0 seconds is 30 m/s.
