Q48 · Physics

A car starts from rest and accelerates at 5 m/s2s^{2}. At t = 4 s, a ball is dropped out of a window by a person sitting in the car. What is the velocity and acceleration of the ball at t = 6 s ?

(Take g = 10 m/s2s^{2})

  1. 120220\sqrt{2} m/s, 0
  2. 220220\sqrt{2} m/s, 10 m/s2s^{2}Official answer
  3. 320 m/s, 5 m/s2s^{2}
  4. 420 m/s, 0
