    Time taken by them to reach the earth's surface will be independent of the properties of their materials.
  • B
    Insulating ball will reach the earth's surface earlier than the metal ball.
  • C
    Both will reach the earth's surface simultaneously.

$A$ ball is thrown vertically downward with a velocity of $20\; m/s$ from the top of a tower. It hits the ground after some time with a velocity of $80\; m/s$. The height of the tower is $......m$ : $(g = 10\; m/s^2)$

$A$ body projected vertically upwards with a certain speed from the top of a tower reaches the ground in $t_1$. If it is projected vertically downwards from the same point with the same speed,it reaches the ground in $t_2$. Time required to reach the ground,if it is dropped from the top of the tower,is:
