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 left parenthesis g equals 10 blank m s to the power of negative 2 end exponent right parenthesis

  1. 20 m  
  2. 80 m  
  3. 170 m  
  4. 40 m  

The correct answer is: 80 m


    S subscript 2 end subscript equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction g t subscript 2 end subscript superscript 2 end superscript equals fraction numerator 10 over denominator 2 end fraction cross times open parentheses 3 close parentheses to the power of 2 end exponent equals 45 blank m
    S subscript 1 end subscript equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction g t subscript 1 end subscript superscript 2 end superscript equals fraction numerator 10 over denominator 2 end fraction cross times open parentheses 5 close parentheses to the power of 2 end exponent equals 125 blank m
    therefore S subscript 1 end subscript minus S subscript 2 end subscript equals 125 minus 45 equals 80 blank m
