Q.

A man is standing on top of a building 100m high. He throws two balls vertically upwards, one at t=0 and other after a time interval (less than 2s). The vertical gap between first and second ball is 15m at t=2s. The gap is found to remain constant. The velocities with which the balls were thrown are ( Take g=10ms-2)

Detailed Solution

For first stone, 

Taking the vertical upwards motion of the first stone up to highest point

Here, u=u1, v=0 (At highest point velocity is zero)

a=-g, S=h1

As v2-u2=2aS

 02-u12=2-gh1 or h1=u122g   … (i)

For second stone, 

Taking the vertical upwards motion of the second stone up to highest point

Here, u=u2, v=0, a=-g, S=h2

As v2-u2=2aS

 02-u22=2-gh2 or h2=u222g   … (ii)

As per question

h1-h2=15m, u2=u12

Subtract (ii) from (i), we get; h1-h2=u122g-u222g

On substituting the given information, we get

15=u122g-u128g=3u128g or u12=15×8g3=15×8×103=400

or u1=20ms-1 and u2=u12=10ms-1
