Two balls $A$ and $B$ are placed at the top of a $180 \,m$ tall tower. Ball $A$ is released from the top at $t = 0 \,s$. Ball $B$ is thrown vertically downward with an initial velocity $u$ at $t = 2 \,s$. Both balls meet at a point $100 \,m$ above the ground. Find the value of $u$ in $m \,s^{-1}$. [Use $g = 10 \,m \,s^{-2}$]

  • C

Two spherical balls having equal masses with a radius of $5 \, \text{cm}$ each are thrown upwards along the same vertical direction at an interval of $3 \, \text{s}$ with the same initial velocity of $35 \, \text{m/s}$. These balls collide at a height of $\ldots \ldots \ldots \, \text{m}$. (Take $g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2$)

The velocity-time curve for a body projected vertically upwards is:

$A$ stone is thrown upwards with a velocity $50 \,ms^{-1}$. Another stone is simultaneously thrown downwards from the same location with a velocity $50 \,ms^{-1}$. When the first stone is at the highest point, the velocity of the second stone is $...... \,ms^{-1}$ (Take $g = 10 \,ms^{-2}$).
