Two particles A and B are thrown vertically upward with velocity, 5 m/s and 10 m/s respectively (g=10 m/s2). Find separation between them after one second.
5 m
Position of A after 1 s, sA=ut−12gt2=5×1−12×10×12=0
i.e., the particle will return to ground at t = 1 s.
The position of B after 1 s, sB=ut−12gt2=10×1−12×10×12=5 m
Hence, separation between A and B, sB−sA=5 m
