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 $g = 10 \,m \,s^{-2}$]

  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $15$
  • C
    $20$
  • D
    $30$

$A$ stone dropped from the top of a tower of height $300 \; m$ splashes into the water of a pond near the base of the tower. When is the splash heard at the top,given that the speed of sound in air is $340 \; m s^{-1}$ (in $; s$)? $(g = 9.8 \; m s^{-2})$

$A$ ball is released from the top of a tower of height $H \ m$. It takes $T \ s$ to reach the ground. The height of the ball from the ground after $\frac{T}{4} \ s$ is

$A$ body is thrown vertically upwards and takes $5 \text{ s}$ to reach maximum height. The distance travelled by the body will be same in

$Assertion$ : $A$ body can have acceleration even if its velocity is zero at a given instant of time.
$Reason$ : $A$ body is momentarily at rest when it reverses its direction.

Reaction time: When a situation demands our immediate action,it takes some time before we really respond. Reaction time is the time a person takes to observe,think,and act. For example,if a person is driving and suddenly a boy appears on the road,then the time elapsed before he slams the brakes of the car is the reaction time. Reaction time depends on the complexity of the situation and on an individual.
You can measure your reaction time by a simple experiment. Take a ruler and ask your friend to drop it vertically through the gap between your thumb and forefinger. After you catch it,find the distance $d$ travelled by the ruler. In a particular case,$d$ was found to be $21.0 \; cm$. Estimate the reaction time in seconds. (in $; s$)
