Question

Raman was getting late for the office. He tried to sip boiling hot coffee from a cup. He felt very uncomfortable. His wife immediately brought a plate. Raman followed her advice and did not face any problem. Which process takes place in this condition?​

Answer 1

Total height =100m=S1+S2

Using equation of motion,

For first ball

S1=ut+21gt2

where,

S= Distance

u= Initial velocity

g= acceleration due to gravity

t= time

S1=0−21gt2

For second ball

S2=40t+21gt2

S2=40t−S1        ....(i)

Putting the value of S1 in equation (i)

S2+S1=40t

100=40t

t=2.5sec

Hence, two balls will meet after 2.5sec
