Two stones are thrown up simultaneously with initial speeds of $u_1$ and $u_2$ $(u_2 > u_1)$. They hit the ground after $6 \, s$ and $10 \, s$ respectively. Which graph in the figure correctly represents the time variation of $\Delta x = (x_2 - x_1)$,the relative position of the second stone with respect to the first up to $t = 10 \, s$? Assume that the stones do not rebound after hitting the ground.

Two skaters $P$ and $Q$ are skating towards each other. Skater $P$ throws a ball towards $Q$ every $5 \,s$ such that it always leaves her hand with speed $2 \,ms^{-1}$ with respect to the ground. Consider two cases:
$(I)$ $P$ runs with speed $1 \,ms^{-1}$ towards $Q$,while $Q$ remains stationary.
$(II)$ $Q$ runs with speed $1 \,ms^{-1}$ towards $P$,while $P$ remains stationary.
Note that irrespective of the speed of $P$,the ball always leaves $P$'s hand with speed $2 \,ms^{-1}$ with respect to the ground. Ignore gravity. At what intervals will the balls be received by $Q$?

Which one of the following time-displacement graphs represents two moving objects $P$ and $Q$ with zero relative velocity?
