From a tower of height $h$,one ball is thrown downwards with a velocity $u$ and another ball is thrown horizontally with the same velocity $u$. What is the ratio of their velocities when they reach the ground?

  • A
    $\sqrt{2gh + u^2} : u$
  • B
    $1 : 2$
  • C
    $1 : 1$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2gh + u^2} : \sqrt{2gh}$

$A$ man runs across the roof of a tall building and jumps horizontally with the hope of landing on the roof of the next building,which is at a lower height than the first. If his speed is $9 \, m/s$,the horizontal distance between the two buildings is $10 \, m$,and the height difference is $9 \, m$,will he be able to land on the next building? (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

From the top of a tower of height $40\,m$,a ball is projected upwards with a speed of $20\,m/s$ at an angle of elevation of $30^{\circ}$. The ratio of the total time taken by the ball to hit the ground to its time of flight (time taken to come back to the same elevation) is (take $g=10\,m/s^2$).
