A particle is thrown with initial speed of 5m/s horizontally under gravity. The distance covered by the particle in vertical downward direction, when its horizontal displacement is 5m.

1. 10m

2.5m

3.2.5m

4.12.5m

Initial velocity in horizontal doirection is ux = 5 m/sDistance travelled is horizontal direction :sx= uxt + 12axt2acceleration in horizontal direction = 05 = 5×tt = 1 sinitial velocity in vertical direction uy = 0distance travelled in vertical direction :sy = uyt +12ayt2acceleration in y direction is equal to the acceleration due to gravitysy = 0 + 12×10×1×1= 5 m

Hence option (2) is correct.
