NEETPhysicsMotion in A Straight LineMCQ+4 / −1
A ball is dropped from a high rise platform at t = 0 starting from rest. After 6 seconds 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/s2)
(Take g = 10 m/s2)
- A75 m/s
- B55 m/s
- C40 m/s
- D60 m/s

Correct answer: A
From the question, we can say
distance moved by 1st ball in 18 s = distance moved by 2nd ball in 12 s.
So, distance moved by 1st ball in 18 s
= = 1620 m
and distance moved by 2nd ball in 12 s
=
1620 =
= 75 m/s
