उत्तर
Given:
Speed of the ball, ux = 20 m/s
Height from which the ball is dropped, h = 100 m
Let t be the time taken by the ball to reach the ground.
Using the equation of motion, we have:
\[h = u_y t + \frac{1}{2}g t^2\]
Here,
Acceleration of gravity, g = 9.8 ms−2
Vertical component of velocity, uy = 0
\[\therefore t = \sqrt{\left( \frac{2h}{g} \right)}\]
\[ \Rightarrow t = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 100}{9 . 8}} = 4 . 5 s\]
Therefore, the time required by the ball to reach the ground is 4.5 seconds.

An elevator is descending with uniform acceleration. To measure the acceleration, a person in the elevator drops a coin at the moment the elevator starts. The coin is 6 ft above the floor of the elevator at the time it is dropped. The person observes that the coin strikes the floor in 1 second. Calculate from these data the acceleration of the elevator.
A popular game in Indian villages is goli which is played with small glass balls called golis. The goli of one player is situated at a distance of 2.0 m from the goli of the second player. This second player has to project his goli by keeping the thumb of the left hand at the place of his goli, holding the goli between his two middle fingers and making the throw. If the projected goli hits the goli of the first player, the second player wins. If the height from which the goli is projected is 19.6 cm from the ground and the goli is to be projected horizontally, with what speed should it be projected so that it directly hits the stationery goli without falling on the ground earlier?

A man is standing on top of a building 100 m high. He throws two balls vertically, one at t = 0 and other after a time interval (less than 2 seconds). The later ball is thrown at a velocity of half the first. The vertical gap between first and second ball is +15 m at t = 2 s. The gap is found to remain constant. Calculate the velocity with which the balls were thrown and the exact time interval between their throw.
