Q81 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (26 Jun Shift 2) · Physics

A ball is projected vertically upward with an initial velocity of 50 m s-1 at t=0 s. At t=2 s, another ball is projected vertically upward with same velocity. At t=____s, second ball will meet the first ball g=10 m s-2.

Correct answer: 6

Solution

Figure

Distance covered by ball A is h=502-12×10×22=100-20=80 m

Now, at time t=2 s, velocity of A is vA=50-10×2=30 m s-1

Relative velocity of both balls after 2 s is vrel=50-30=20 m s-1

Here, relative displacement xrel=80 m s-1 and relative accelerationarel=0.

Time taken t=8020=4 s

Time at which they will meet is t=4+2=6 s

Hence, the correct answer is 6.
