(1) Two spherical balls having equal masses with radius of 5 cm each are thrown upwards along the same vertical direction at an interval of 3 s with
the same initial velocity of 35 m/s, then these balls collide at a height of . . . . . . . . . .m. (Take g = 10 m/s2 )
(A) 80 (B) 10 (C) 60 (D) 50
Solution:(Correct Answer:D)
When both balls will collied
y1 = y 2
35t − 12 × 10 × t2 = 35(t − 3) − 21 × 10 × (t − 3)2
35t − 12 × 10 × t2 = 35t − 105 − 12 × 10 × t2
− 21 × 10 × 32 + 12 × 10 × 6t
0 = 150 − 30t
t = 5sec
∴ Height at which both balls will collied
h = 35t − 12 × 10 × t2
= 35 × 5 − 21 × 10 × 52
h = 50m

(2) A balloon was moving upwards with a uniform velocity of 10 m/s. An object of finite mass is dropped from the balloon when it was at a height
of 75 m from the ground level. The height of the balloon from the ground when object strikes the ground was around.(In m) (Takes the value of
g as 10 m/s2 )
(A) 125 (B) 250 (C) 300 (D) 200
Solution:(Correct Answer:A)
S = ut + 12 at2
−75 = +10t + 21 (−10)t2
⇒ t = 5sec
Object takes t = 5s to fall on ground
Height of balloon from ground
H = 75 + ut
H = 75 + 10 × 5 = 125m

(3) A ball is released from a height h. If t1 and t2 be the time required to complete first half and second half of the distance respectively. Then,
choose the correct relation between t1 and t2 .
√ √ √ √
(A) t1 = ( 2)t2 (B) t1 = ( 2 − 1)t2 (C) t2 = ( 2 + 1)t1 (D) t2 = ( 2 − 1)t1

(4) A boy is standing on top of a tower of height 85 m and throws a ball in the vertically upward direction with a certain speed. If 5.25 s later he
hears the ball hitting the ground, then the speed with which the boy threw the ball is .......... m/s (take, g = 10 m/s2 and speed of sound in air
= 340 m/s )
(A) 6 (B) 8 (C) 10 (D) 12
Solution:(Correct Answer:B)
(b)
Given, sound of ball (hitting the ground) is heard 5.25 s after the ball is thrown.
Sound of ball reaches top of tower in time,

4
 t1 = Ds
85
= 340 = 0.25 s
So, ball reaches ground in time,
t2 = 5.25 − 0.25 = 5 s
If u = initial speed of ball at t = 0, then for the ball,
s = −85m, a = −g = −10 ms−2 , t = 5 s
Using, s = ut + 21 at2
−85 = u(5) + 21 (−10)(5)2
⇒ 5u = 125 − 85 ⇒ u = 8 ms−1

(5) The position of a body moving along x-axis at time t is given by x = t2 − 4t + 6 m. The distance travelled by body in time interval t = 0 to
t = 3 s is ...... m

x|t=2s = 2 m

x|t=2s = 2 m

x|t=3s = 3 m
Distance = (4 + 1) m = 5 m

(27) In an experiment, mass of an object is measured by applying a known force on it, and then measuring its acceleration. If in the experiment, the
measured values of applied force and the measured acceleration are F = 10.0 ± 0.2 N and a = 1.00 ± 0.01 m/s2 , respectively. Then, the mass

Maximum error in mass occurs when error in force and acceleration are of different signs.
So, ∆m = 0.03 × m = 0.03 × 10 ⇒ ∆m = 0.3 kg
Hence, mass of object is m = 10 ± 0.3 kg.
