Question

a body is released from a great height and falls freely towards the earth another body is released from the same height exactly 1 sec later the separation between the two bodies two sec After the release of the second body is
a) 65m
b) 1.5m
c) 3.6m
d) 24.5m​

Answer 1

Answer:

correct answer is 24.5 so this is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

$(d) \: 24.5m$

Explanation:

$time \: for \: {1}^{st} \: ball = 2 \: seconds$

$time \: for \: {2}^{nd} \: ball = 2 + 1 = 3 \: seconds$

$S_{1} = \frac{1}{2} g( {2}^{2} ) \: and \: S_{2} = \frac{1}{2} g( {3}^{2} )$

$S_{2} - S_{1} = g / 2(9 - 4) = 4.9 \times 5 = 24.5m$

$hence \: \: verified$
