10m
14m
18m
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
From third equation of motion,v2 =u2−2g h
0=u2 −2g (\(\frac{h}{2}\))
h=\(\frac{u_2}{g}\) = \(\frac{10^2}{10}\)
=10m
Therefore, the correct option is (B): 10m

Motion in a straight line
The motion in a straight line is an object changes its position with respect to its surroundings with time, then it is called in motion. It is a change in the position of an object over time. It is nothing but linear motion.
Types of Linear Motion:
Linear motion is also known as the Rectilinear Motion which are of two types:
- Uniform linear motion with constant velocity or zero acceleration: If a body travels in a straight line by covering an equal amount of distance in an equal interval of time then it is said to have uniform motion.
- Non-Uniform linear motion with variable velocity or non-zero acceleration: Not like the uniform acceleration, the body is said to have a non-uniform motion when the velocity of a body changes by unequal amounts in equal intervals of time. The rate of change of its velocity changes at different points of time during its movement.
