A stone is dropped from the roof of a building. It is observed to pass a window of height in . (Take ). Consider the following statements:
(I) The velocity of the stone at the top edge of the window is .
(II) The velocity of the stone at the bottom edge of the window is .
(III) The top edge of the window is below the roof.
(IV) The stone takes to reach the top edge of the window from the roof.
How many of the above statements are correct?
(I) The velocity of the stone at the top edge of the window is .
(II) The velocity of the stone at the bottom edge of the window is .
(III) The top edge of the window is below the roof.
(IV) The stone takes to reach the top edge of the window from the roof.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Options
- AOne
- BThree
- CFour
- DTwo
Correct answer
D. Two
Step-by-step solution
Let us evaluate each statement by analyzing the motion of the stone.
For the motion across the window:
Displacement
Time
Acceleration
Using the second equation of motion to find the velocity at the top edge ():
.
Thus, statement (I) is correct.
Velocity at the bottom edge of the window ():
.
Thus, statement (II) is incorrect.
For the motion from the roof to the top edge of the window (initial velocity ):
Using , where and :
.
Thus, statement (III) is correct.
Time taken to reach the top edge from the roof:
Using
.
Thus, statement (IV) is incorrect.
Exactly two statements, (I) and (III), are correct.
Answer: Two
For the motion across the window:
Displacement
Time
Acceleration
Using the second equation of motion to find the velocity at the top edge ():
.
Thus, statement (I) is correct.
Velocity at the bottom edge of the window ():
.
Thus, statement (II) is incorrect.
For the motion from the roof to the top edge of the window (initial velocity ):
Using , where and :
.
Thus, statement (III) is correct.
Time taken to reach the top edge from the roof:
Using
.
Thus, statement (IV) is incorrect.
Exactly two statements, (I) and (III), are correct.
Answer: Two
