Question

A tennis ball was projected horizontally with initial velocity 30 m/s from a height of 80 m. Find the time of motion. (g = 10 m/s²).
Options
A 24 s
B 12 s
C 8 s
D 4 s
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

For vertical motion: h = ½gt², so t = √(2h/g) = √(2×80/10) = √16 = 4 s.

Hint

Time of flight depends only on vertical drop.
