Solution

Dear student,

The initial speed of the ball, ub=20 m/sAs the ball is moving upward and the acceleration due to gravity is acting downward, sAcceleration of the ball, ab=-10 m/s2Let in time t, the ball meets the lift.The distance travelled by the ball in time t,s=ubt+12abt2s=20t-5t2 ...(1)The speed of the lift, ul=10 m/sAcceleration of the lift, al=0m/sThe distance travelled by the ls=ult+12alt2s=10t ...(2)Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2), we get0=-10t+5t25t(t-2)=0Therefore, t=2 sRegards
