NEET 2020 Physics Vertical Motion MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 11

A ball is thrown vertically downward with a velocity of 20 m/s from the top of a tower. It hits the ground after some time with a velocity of 80 m/s. The height of the tower is: (g = 10 m/s²)

A

320 m

B

300 m

C

360 m

D

340 m

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Using v² = u² + 2gh: (80)² = (20)² + 2(10)h → 6400 = 400 + 20h → h = 6000/20 = 300 m. The correct answer is B (300 m). The original explanation correctly computed 300 m but then incorrectly overrode this to claim 360 m for option C.
