प्रश्न
An object is dropped from rest at a height of 150 m and simultaneously another object is dropped from rest at a height of 100 m. What is the difference in their heights after 2s if both the objects drop with the same accelerations? How does the difference in heights vary with time?

उत्तर
Initially, the difference in heights of two objects
= 150 m – 100 m
= 50 m
Distance travelled by the first object in 2s
h = `"ut" + 1/2 "at"^2`
= `0 + 1/2 xx 10 xx 2 xx 2`
= 20 m
Distance travelled by the second object in 2s,
h' = `"ut" + 1/2 "at"^2`
= `0 + 1/2 xx 10 xx 2 xx 2`
= 20 m
Height of first object from ground at t = 2s
= 150 m − 20 m
= 130 m
Height of second object from ground t = 2s
= 100 m − 20 m
= 80 m
∴ Difference in height after t = 2s
= 130m − 80 m
= 50 m
The difference in heights does not vary with time as long as both the objects are in motion. However, when the second object reaches the ground and the first one is still in motion, then it decreases.

Is displacement a scalar quantity?
What information about the motion of a body are obtained from the displacement-time graph?
A body is moving in a straight line and its displacement at various instants of time is given in the following table
| Time (s) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Displacement (m) | 2 | 6 | 12 | 12 | 12 | 18 | 22 | 24 |
