Two balls A and B are placed at the top of 180 m tall tower. Ball A is released from the top at t=0 s. Ball B is thrown vertically down with an initial velocity u at t=2 s. After a certain time, both balls meet 100 m above the ground. Find the value of u in m s-1. [use g=10 m s-2]
  1. 10
  2. 15
  3. 20
  4. 30

Solution

Displacement covered by first ball,180-100=0+12×10×t2   t=4 s

Now, the second body gets only,  t2=4-2=2 s.

Displacement covered by second will be same,

80=u×2+12×10×22

u=80-202=30 m s-1
