A Ball Is Dropped From A High Rise Platform At Physics Question

A ball is dropped from a high rise platform at t = 0 starting from rest. After 6 seconds another ball is thrown downwards from the same platform with a speed v.The two balls meet at t = 18s. What is the value of v?(take g = 10 m/s²)

Options

(a) 75 m/s
(b) 55 m/s
(c) 40 m/s
(d) 60 m/s

Correct Answer:

75 m/s

Explanation:

Clearly distance moved by 1st ball in 18 s = distance moved by 2nd ball in 12 s. Now, distance moved in 18 s by 1st ball 1/2 x 10 x 18²
= 90 x 18 = 1620 m. Distance moved in 12 s by 2nd ball = ut + 1/2 gt²
1620 = 12v + 5 x 144
v = 135 – 60 = 75 ms
