The equations of motion of two stones thrown vertically upwards simultaneously are 
and 
respectively and the maximum height attained by the first one is h . When the height of the first stone is maximum, the height of the second stone will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
The time taken by first stone to secure maximum height = 
.
The time taken by second stone to secure maximum height is, 
1 sec . Therefore, in 2 sec , second stone will come back to the ground. Hence height 
.
