Expert Answer
It is given that velocity increases at the rate of 10 m/s2 , i.e., acceleration is 10 m/s2 which is very near to the standard vlue
of acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s2 . In physics problems, for the convenience of doing calculation ,
it is the standard practise to consider acceleration due to gravity g = 10 m/s2 .
Hence , if rate of increase of velocity is 10 m/s2 , then when the ball is dropped, it has started from rest , i.e., initial velocity is zero.
---------------------------
Velocity v of ball when it reaches ground is determined from the following equation
" v2 = u2 + ( 2 g h ) "
where u = 0 is initial speed , g = 10 m/s2 is acceleration due to gravity and h is height from where the ball is dropped
v2 = 2 × 10 × 20 = 400 m2 /s2 or v = 20 m/s
------------------------------------------
Time taken t by the ball to reach the ground is determined from the following equation
" h = ( u t ) + [ (1/2) g t2 ] "
20 = 0.5 × 10 × t2 or t = 2 s
