Let mass of the ball = m kgInitial height ,h1= 12 metreFinal height , h2= 9 metre Initial P.E = mgh1 = m × 9.8 × 12 Final P.E = m × g × h2 = m × 9.8 × 9 (Final P.E/ Initial P.E) ={ (m ×9.8 ×9) /(m ×9.8×12) } ...

Sameer went on his bike from Delhi to Gurgaon at a speed of 60km/hr and came back at a speed of 40km/hr. What is his average speed for entire journey?
To find the average speed, you need to know the formula of average speed. The avg speed 0= 2 d / (t1+ t2) = 2 v1.v2/(V1 + V2). Just substitute the value.
