Meeting Point Condition

JEE Main asked Meeting Point Condition 3 times in 3 of the 108 shifts Lumi analysed, in 2021 and 2022. It belongs to Kinematics in 1D, in Motion in a Straight Line (Physics). The longest wait between two years asking it was 1 year. In 2022 it came in more than one shift of the same year.

Questions on this idea a shift, by year

2017–2026. Asked in 2021 and 2022. Years differ in how many shifts Lumi analysed, so each year is scaled to one shift of 25 Physics questions.

How JEE Main framed it

Numerical value is the usual form. Skill tested: multi-step.

  • Initial speed so thrown ball meets dropped ball
  • Meeting time of two vertically projected balls
