  1. A stone released with zero velocity from the top of a tower, reaches the ground in 4 sec. The height of the tower is (g = 10m/s²)
    1. 20 m
    2. 40 m
    3. 80 m
    4. 160 m
Correct Option: C

Initial velocity (u) = 0; Time (t) = 4 sec and gravitational acceleration (g) = 10 m/s².
Height of tower

h = ut +
1
gt² = (0 × 4) +
1
10 × (4)²
22
