Two balls are dropped to the ground from different heights. One ball is dropped 2 s after the other but they both strike the ground at the same time. If the first ball takes 5 s to reach the ground, then the difference in initial heights is (g = 10 ms−2 )

Question : Two balls are dropped to the ground from different heights. One ball is dropped 2 s after the other but they both strike the ground at the same time. If the first ball takes 5 s to reach the ground, then the difference in initial heights is (g = 10 ms−2 )

(A) 20 m

(B) 80 m

(D) 40 m

Answer : option (B)

Solution :

Two balls are dropped to the ground from different heights. One ball is dropped 2 s after the other but they both strike the ground at the same time. If the first ball takes 5 s to reach the ground, then the difference in initial heights is (g = 10 ms−2 )
