A body is thrown horizontally from the top of a tower of height $5 \,m$. It touches the ground at a distance of $10 \,m$ from the foot of the tower. The initial velocity of the body is ......... $ms^{-1}$ ($g = 10\, ms^{-2}$)

$S = u \times \sqrt {\frac{{2h}}{g}} $

$⇒$  $10 = u\sqrt {2 \times \frac{5}{{10}}} $

$⇒$  $u = 10\,m/s$
