E) 20

Answer:

It will go up to 93.75 m before it is moving at 20 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that

[tex]v^2 - u^2 = 2aS[/tex]

here v is the final speed i.e 20 m/s

u is the initial speed i.e 5 m/s

a is the acceleration due to gravity i.e 2 m/s^2

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

[tex]20^2 - 5^2 = 2*2*S\\S = 93.75[/tex]meters
