An object is dropped from rest at a height of 150 m, and simultaneously another object is dropped from rest at a height of 100 m. What is the difference in their heights after 2 s if both the objects drop with the same accelerations? How does the difference in heights vary with time?
ScienceClass 9CBSEAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
When two objects fall with the same acceleration simultaneously, after 2 seconds, the difference in their heights will not change, and it remains 50 m.
Therefore the height of the first object after 2 seconds is 130 m.
This concludes that the difference in the height of the two objects does not depend on time and will always be the same.
