    A ball is dropped from a high rise platform at t = 0 starting from rest. After 6 s another ball is thrown downwards from the same platform with a speed v. The two balls meet at t = 18 s. What is the value of v?(Take \[g=10\,m{{s}^{-2}}\])

    A) \[74\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]

    B)  \[64\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]

    C)  \[84\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]

    D)  \[94\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     For first ball, \[u=0\] \[\therefore \] \[{{s}_{1}}=\frac{1}{2}gt_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\times g{{(18)}^{2}}\] For second ball, initial velocity \[=v\] \[\therefore \] \[{{s}_{2}}=v{{t}_{2}}+\frac{1}{2}\times g{{t}^{2}}\] \[{{t}_{2}}=18-6=12\,s\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{s}_{2}}=v\times 12+\frac{1}{2}g{{(12)}^{2}}\] Here, \[{{s}_{1}}={{s}_{2}}\] \[\frac{1}{2}g{{(18)}^{2}}=12v+\frac{1}{2}g{{(12)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[v=74\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]
