Two balls $A$ and $B$ are placed at the top of a $180 \,m$ tall tower. Ball $A$ is released from the top at $t = 0 \,s$. Ball $B$ is thrown vertically downward with an initial velocity $u$ at $t = 2 \,s$. Both balls meet at a point $100 \,m$ above the ground. Find the value of $u$ in $m \,s^{-1}$. [Use $g = 10 \,m \,s^{-2}$]

  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $15$
  • C
    $20$
  • D
    $30$
