The expected answer is
Range R = u (2H)1/2
(g) OR
H = R2g
2u2
= 252 X 10
2 x 42
= 195.3m
ALTERNATIVELY
Time t = distance = 25
speed 4
= 6.25s
s = ut +1∕2 gt2 OR s = ½ gt2
= ½ x 10 x 6.252
This question, also on projectile motion, was very popular. It was satisfactorily handled by most of the candidates. However, some candidates could not apply the relation R = u √2H to determine H.
g
Majority of the candidates used the alternative method. They were able to obtain the time of fall, t as the ratio of distance to speed and proceeded to obtain the height H from the relation H = ½ gt2 , '
