Here, uA = −0 , uB = +50ms−1
aA = −g , aB = −g
uBA = uB − uA = 50ms−1 − (0)ms−1 = 50ms−1
aBA = aB − aA = −g − (−g) = 0
∵ vBA = uBA + aBAt(As aBA = 0)
∴ vBA = uBA
As there is no acceleration of ball B w.r.t to ball A, therefore the relative speed of ball B w.r.t ball A at any instant of time remains constant (= 50ms−1).

A ball A is dropped from a building of height 45 m. Simultaneously ano...
To solve this problem, we need to consider the motion of both balls A and B separately.
For ball A:
Since ball A is dropped, it only experiences free fall due to gravity. The height of the building is 45 m, so the initial velocity of ball A is 0 m/s (since it is dropped) and the final velocity is unknown. The acceleration due to gravity, g, is approximately 9.8 m/s^2. Using the equation of motion:
h = ut + (1/2)gt^2
where h is the height, u is the initial velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is the time taken.
Substituting the given values, we have:
45 = 0 + (1/2)(9.8)t^2
Simplifying the equation:
45 = 4.9t^2
Dividing both sides by 4.9:
t^2 = 9.18
Taking the square root of both sides:
t ≈ 3.03 seconds
Therefore, ball A will take approximately 3.03 seconds to reach the ground.
For ball B:
Ball B is thrown up with a speed of 50 m/s. The initial velocity, u, is 50 m/s, and the acceleration due to gravity, g, is still approximately 9.8 m/s^2. Using the equation of motion:
v = u - gt
where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is the time taken.
Substituting the given values, we have:
0 = 50 - 9.8t
Simplifying the equation:
9.8t = 50
Dividing both sides by 9.8:
t ≈ 5.1 seconds
Therefore, ball B will take approximately 5.1 seconds to reach its maximum height.
In summary, ball A will take approximately 3.03 seconds to reach the ground, while ball B will take approximately 5.1 seconds to reach its maximum height.
