COMEDK · Physics · 4. Motion In Two Dimensions

Two balls are thrown horizontally, one from the window of first floor which is \(3 \mathrm{~m}\) high from the ground and second from the second floor which is \(6 \mathrm{~m}\) high from the ground, of a multi storey building, with the same speed of \(6 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\). Calculate the distance that will separate the two balls when they hit the ground.

  1. A 1.81 m
  2. B 0.39 m
  3. C 1.94 m
  4. D 2.28 m
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1.94 m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The time taken for a ball thrown horizontally from a height \(h\) to reach the ground is given by \(t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}}\). For the first ball thrown from height \(h_1 = 3\) m: \(t_1 = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times 3}{9.8}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{6}{9.8}} \approx 0.7825\) s. The horizontal…
