    The ball will reach the ground in 0.8s

    Option C

    Explanation:

    Given:

    - Takes t = 0.8 s for ball to reach ground when thrown horizontal from top of a building.

    Find:

    If it had been thrown with twice the speed in the same direction, it would have hit the ground in how many second.

    Solution:

    - We know that the amount of time taken to hit the ground is determined by the vertical distance i. e height at which it is thrown. The displacement of ball from top is given by:

    S_y = S_o + V_i, y*t + 0.5*g*t^2

    - We know that the S_o = height of the building.

    We also know that the ball os thrown horizontally; hence, y-component of initial velocity is zero. V_y, i = 0

    0 = h + 0 + 0.5*g*t^2

    - Hence, the time taken t is:

    t = sqrt (2h / g)

    - The time taken to reach the ground is independent of the initial speed. Hence, the ball will reach the ground in 0.8s.
