Two balls are thrown vertically upwards with the same initial speed. Which one of them will rise to the greater height?

Hi Prajyot, Both balls will reach the same height because the height attained = u^2/2g ,where u = initial velocity (which is same for both the bodies),g= acceleraton due to gravity. Derivation of the height attained= u^2 / 2g: We know, v^2 = u^2 - 2gh ( for body moving upwards ) =&get; 0= u^2 -2gh ( at max. height v=00 =&get; h=u^2 / 2g Feel free to raise more queries. All the best.
