2.Motion in Straight Line
hard
Two balls $A$ and $B$ are placed at the top of $180 \,m$ tall tower. Ball $A$ is released from the top at $t =0 \,s$. Ball $B$ is thrown vertically down with an initial velocity $u$' at $t=2\, s$. After a certain time, both balls meet $100 \,m$ above the ground. Find the value of $u$ in ............... $ms ^{-1}$. [use $g =10 \,ms ^{-2}$ ]
A
$10$
B
$15$
C
$20$
D
$30$
(JEE MAIN-2022)
Solution
Let they meet at time $t$.
$t =\sqrt{\frac{2 h }{ g }}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 80}{10}}$
$=4 \,sec$
Time taken by ball $B$ to meet $A =2 \,sec$
$\text { using } S=u t+\frac{1}{2} \text { at }^{2}$
$-80=-u \times 2+\frac{1}{2}(-10)(2)^{2}$
$u=30$
