The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of two balls A and B being thrown from the top of a building, we will analyze their motions step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - Ball A is thrown upward with an initial velocity \( V \). - Ball B is thrown downward with the same initial velocity \( V \). - Both balls are thrown from the same height (the top of the building). 2. **Analyzing Ball A (Thrown Upward)**: - When ball A is thrown upward, it will first rise to a maximum height before falling back down. - The time taken to reach the maximum height can be calculated using the formula: \[ t_{up} = \frac{V}{g} \] where \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. 3. **Calculating Maximum Height for Ball A**: - The maximum height \( h_{max} \) reached by ball A can be calculated using the equation: \[ h_{max} = \frac{V^2}{2g} \] 4. **Total Height from which Ball A Falls**: - The total height from which ball A falls to the ground is the height of the building \( h \) plus the maximum height it reached: \[ H_A = h + h_{max} = h + \frac{V^2}{2g} \] 5. **Analyzing Ball B (Thrown Downward)**: - Ball B is thrown downward with the same initial velocity \( V \). - The time taken for ball B to hit the ground can be calculated using the equation of motion: \[ H_B = h + \frac{V^2}{2g} \] 6. **Using the Equation of Motion**: - For both balls, we can use the equation of motion to find the final velocity just before they hit the ground: \[ v^2 = u^2 + 2gH \] - For ball A: \[ v_A^2 = V^2 + 2g\left(h + \frac{V^2}{2g}\right) = V^2 + 2gh + V^2 = 2V^2 + 2gh \] - For ball B: \[ v_B^2 = V^2 + 2g\left(h\right) = V^2 + 2gh \] 7. **Final Velocities**: - Both balls will have the same final velocity when they hit the ground: \[ v_A = v_B \] 8. **Conclusion**: - Since both balls hit the ground with the same velocity and are thrown from the same height, they will also hit the ground at the same time.

To solve the problem of two balls A and B being thrown from the top of a building, we will analyze their motions step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - Ball A is thrown upward with an initial velocity \( V \). - Ball B is thrown downward with the same initial velocity \( V \). - Both balls are thrown from the same height (the top of the building). ...
