Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
\(v^2 = u^2+2as=0^2 + 2\times 10\times 45 \Rightarrow
v^2 = 900m^2s^{-2} \Rightarrow \\
v = \sqrt{900m^2s^{-2}} \Rightarrow
v = 30ms^{-1}\)
\(v^2 = u^2+2as=0^2 + 2\times 10\times 45 \Rightarrow
v^2 = 900m^2s^{-2} \Rightarrow \\
v = \sqrt{900m^2s^{-2}} \Rightarrow
v = 30ms^{-1}\)
