Two bodies fall freely from different heights & reach the ground simultaneously. The time of descent for the first body is t1=2sec. & for the second, t2=1sec. At what height was the first body situated when the other began to fall?????

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

@Vaidehi09 :)

loL MOTION

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

loL MOTION

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

copy :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well do u understood the question

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

ya i gt the answer too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then y u r asking

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

but i didn't understood that how can two bodies from different heights can reach the ground simultaneously?????????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The more massive objects will fall faster since they will also exert a greater gravitational attraction on the \[\huge Earth......\]

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

but which is massive not stated:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, irrespective of their masses, bodies take the same time to fall from the same ht.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The rate of fall is a combination of the gravitational pull of BOTH the object and the earth.

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

then they are falling from different heights main problem is this

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

but time is also different

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@maheshmeghwal9 yea...i know. that's fishy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as its\[\Huge 9.8N \rightarrow gravitatonal \quad pull \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

starting from diff hts, they can reach the ground simultaneously only if one of them is given an initial velocity.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Rohangrr i'm telling you, mass has nothing to do with the time taken for them to reach the ground. since in the vertical motion, the acceleration acting on them both is the same ---> g.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Vaidehi09 u cannot change the \[\huge NORMS.\]

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

wait a minute u both please:) if u have both understood the question plz give me the solution on the basis of ur respective thinkings becoz i didn't gt my answer logically however i gt that:/

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

@Vaidehi09

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

@Rohangrr

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@maheshmeghwal9 many a times, problems are formulated without considering the facts. so they just want u to calculate the ht....don't go into the logic here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

logic but @Vaidehi09 dont calculate it on air do it on the norms and facts provided

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Rohangrr why don't u try asking others that question? i'm sure u'll get the same answer.

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

bodies are falling freely important point to note so plz give the solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL thats called mashing up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just wait lol I step back vaidehi will explain @Vaidehi09 happy :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Rohangrr why are u being so rigid? @maheshmeghwal9 u already got the answer right?

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

ya but not logically:( so want the solution logically

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do u understand by RIGID @Vaidehi09

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

Answer is 14.7 meters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@maheshmeghwal9 I'm outta here. sorry, but i'll get back to u on that one.

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

Actually this question is slowly becoming an argument like a topic in our Parliament so i m putting it as a new question. @Vaidehi09 @Rohangrr np:) & but both please help in new one
