A ball is released from the top of a multistory tower. The ball taked ` 1 s` to fall pasta floor of the tower `8 m` height of a floor some distance from the top of thetower. Find the velocities of the ball at the top and at the bottom of the window.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`v_(top) =3 m//s & v_(battom) =13 m//s`

Let `v_(1)` and `v_(b)` are the velocities at top and bottom of window,
`s=(v_(1)+v_(b))/(2) t rArr 8=((v_(t)+v_(b)))/(2)xx1`
`v_(1)+v_(b)=16` (i)
using equation `v=u+at`
`v_(b)-v_(1)+(10)(1)`
`v_(b)-v_(t)=10`
solving equation (i) and (ii) we get (ii)
`v_(1)=3 m//s` and `v_(b)=13 m//s`.
