Each ball is moving in a straight line under uniform acceleration and is thus subject to the equation:


S = ut + 1/2 a t^2


… where S is distance travelled, a is the acceleration towards the ground and t is the journey duration.


We know the sum of their journeys is 100m and their journey durations are equal.


So


100 = (25t -1/2 g t^2) + (0t + 1/2 g t^2)


100 = 25t


So t = 4 seconds


Note: This is is the same time that it would have taken had there been no gravity and the thrown ball covered the entire distance itself. That is intuitive as whatever retarding gravity applies to the thrown ball is equal to the speeding up it applies to the dropped ball.


Note 2 (thanks to comment by Victor Mazmanian): We can assess when the thrown ball reaches its maximum height by solving (v = u+ at) for t when v is 0.


0 = 25 - gt


So t is 25/g … roughly 2.5 seconds


Hence at 4 seconds, when the balls meet the thrown ball is already on its way down after already reached its max height and started descending.


Under the effects of gravity the thrown ball reaches a max height of…


25.25/g - 1/2.g.(25/g)^2 = roughly 31.9 m


but has descending back down to a height of …


25.4 - 1/2.g.4^2 = 100–8g … roughly 21.5m, when the balls meet


And the dropped ball this covers the remaining 1/2.g.4^2 = 78.5m



nitesh586: in this problem velocity is not given
bharsh252: Maybe
nitesh586: then solve
bharsh252: See first of all this is an example and you should solve it with yourself because I have given you the formula or the way to solve that question
