From a 200 m high tower, one ball is thrown upwards with speed of 10 m...
The ball thrown upward will lose velocity in 1s. It return back to thrown point in another 1 s with the same velocity as second. Thus the difference will be 2 s.

From a 200 m high tower, one ball is thrown upwards with speed of 10 m...
Solution:
Given data:
Height of the tower, h = 200 m
Initial velocity of the balls, u = 10 m/s
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
Time taken by the ball to reach the ground from the top of the tower:
Using the formula, h = ut + 0.5gt²
On substituting the given values, we get:
200 = 10t + 0.5×9.8×t²
Simplifying, we get:
4.9t² + 10t - 200 = 0
On solving this quadratic equation, we get:
t = 6.427 s (approx.)
Time taken by the ball thrown upwards to reach the ground:
The time taken by the ball thrown upwards to reach the maximum height can be calculated using the formula, v = u - gt, where v is the final velocity at the maximum height.
At the maximum height, the final velocity becomes zero.
So, v = 0 m/s
On substituting the given values, we get:
0 = 10 - 9.8t
t = 10/9.8 s
The time taken by the ball thrown upwards to reach the maximum height is 10/9.8 s.
The time taken by the ball thrown upwards to reach the ground from the maximum height can be calculated using the formula, h = ut - 0.5gt².
On substituting the given values, we get:
200 = 10×(10/9.8) - 0.5×9.8×(10/9.8)²
Simplifying, we get:
200 = 101/49 - 100/49
200 = 1/49t²
On solving this equation, we get:
t = √(200×49) = 14.14 s (approx.)
Therefore, the time difference between the two balls reaching the ground is:
14.14 - 6.427 = 7.713 s (approx.)
The nearest option to this value is 2 seconds, which is option (c).
