Two bodies are dropped from two different building, one at a height 200m and another at a height of 150m above the ground. What will be difference in height of the bodies after they have fallen for 2s? `(g=10m//s^(2))`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the difference in height between two bodies dropped from different heights after 2 seconds, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the initial conditions - Body 1 is dropped from a height of 200 meters. - Body 2 is dropped from a height of 150 meters. - Both bodies are dropped from rest, so their initial velocity (u) is 0 m/s. - The acceleration due to gravity (g) is given as 10 m/s². ### Step 2: Calculate the distance fallen by each body after 2 seconds We will use the second equation of motion: \[ s = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \] Where: - \( s \) = distance fallen - \( u \) = initial velocity (0 m/s) - \( g \) = acceleration due to gravity (10 m/s²) - \( t \) = time (2 seconds) For both bodies, since \( u = 0 \): \[ s = 0 \cdot t + \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot (2)^2 \] \[ s = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot 4 \] \[ s = 20 \text{ meters} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the height of each body above the ground after 2 seconds - For Body 1 (initial height = 200 m): \[ \text{Height after 2 seconds} = 200 \text{ m} - 20 \text{ m} = 180 \text{ m} \] - For Body 2 (initial height = 150 m): \[ \text{Height after 2 seconds} = 150 \text{ m} - 20 \text{ m} = 130 \text{ m} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the difference in height between the two bodies Now we find the difference in height between the two bodies after 2 seconds: \[ \text{Difference in height} = \text{Height of Body 1} - \text{Height of Body 2} \] \[ \text{Difference in height} = 180 \text{ m} - 130 \text{ m} = 50 \text{ m} \] ### Final Answer The difference in height between the two bodies after they have fallen for 2 seconds is **50 meters**. ---
