OpenStudy (anonymous):

A person standing near the edge of the top of a building thrown 2 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 v(a) and the ball B hits the ground with a speed v(b). We have: a/ v(a)>v(b) b/ vice versa c/ v(a)=v(b) d/ the relation between the velocities depends on height of the building above the ground

OpenStudy (anonymous):

V(b) will be greater then v(a) because the force at which ball B is thrown is in the direction of gavitation so there is gravitational pull in cause of A in the direction of force at which ball is thrown is opposite to the the gravitation.

The ans is c they are equal i just need an exp

OpenStudy (mani_jha):

Let the height be h. Think of conservation of mechanical energy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Answer is Option (c).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont they fall different heights?

OpenStudy (mani_jha):

yes. What is the total energy of the bodies in the initial state when they are both thrown? Hint: Kinetic energy+Potential energy Then what is the total energy when the body thrown down touches the ground? Use energy conservation to find this body's velocity. Finally, what is the total energy when the body thrown up touches the ground? Use energy conservation to find this body's velocity.
