Question:medium
A body P of mass 3 kg at rest is dropped from a height of 250 m. At the same moment another body Q of mass 2 kg is thrown vertically upwards with velocity $50\text{ m s}^{-1}$. Both move along same line. The velocity of Q when centre of mass reaches maximum height is: (g = $10\text{ m s}^{-2}$)}
