Kinematics Question 237

Question: A man drops a ball downside from the roof of a tower of height 400 meters. At the same time another ball is thrown upside with a velocity 50 meter/sec. from the surface of the tower, then they will meet at which height from the surface of the tower [CPMT 2003]

Options:

A) 100 meters

B) 320 meters

C) 80 meters

D) 240 meters

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Let both balls meet at point P after time t. The distance travelled by ball A, h1=12gt2 The distance travelled by ball B, h2=ut12gt2

h1+h2=400 m

therefore ut=400, t=400/50=8 sec
h1=320 m And  h2=80 m
