    A wooden block of mass \[10\,\,g\] is dropped on the top of a cliff \[100\,\,m\] high. Simultaneously, a bullet of mass \[10\,\,g\] is fired from the foot of the cliff upward with a velocity of\[100\,\,m\,\,{{s}^{-1}}\]. At what time will the bullet and the wooden block meet?\[(g=32\,\,ft\,\,{{s}^{-2}})\]

    A) \[1s\]                  

    B)        \[2s\]

    C) \[3s\]                

    D)        \[4s\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Distance travelled by the wooden block before it meets the bullet\[={{s}_{1}}\] Distance travelled by the bullet before it meets the block\[={{s}_{2}}\] Height of the tower             \[={{s}_{1}}+{{s}_{2}}=100\,\,m,\,\,{{t}_{1}}={{t}_{2}}=t\] For the wooden block:             \[{{S}_{1}}=\frac{1}{2}g{{t}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times {{t}^{2}}=4.9\,\,{{t}^{2}}\] For the bullet:             \[{{S}_{2}}=ut-\frac{1}{2}g{{t}^{2}}=100t-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times {{t}^{2}}\] Since,\[{{s}_{1}}+{{s}_{2}}=100\,\,m.\Rightarrow t=1\,\,s\]
