Q 1M.C.Q (1 Marks)1 Mark
A person standing near the edge of the top of a building throws two balls $A$ and $B.$ The ball $A$ is thrown vertically upward and $B$ is thrown vertically downward with the same speed. The ball A hits the ground with a speed $\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{A}}$ and the ball B hits the ground with a speed $\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{B}}.$ We have:
  • A
    $\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{A}}  > \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{B}}$
  • B
    $\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{A}} < \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{B}} $
  • ✓
    $\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{A}} = \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{B}}$
  • D
    The relation between $\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{A}}$ and $\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{B}}$ depends on height of the building above the ground.
