AP EAMCET2009PhysicsMotion in Two Dimensions
A body is projected vertically upwards at time t=0 and it is seen at a height H at time t₁ and t₂ second during its flight. The maximum height attained is ( g is acceleration due to gravity)
Options
- Ag (t₂-t₁ )^2 8
- Bg (t₁+t₂ )^2 4
- Cg (t₁+t₂ )^2 8
- Dg (t₂-t₁ )^2 4
Correct answer
A. g (t₂-t₁ )^2 8
Step-by-step solution
Let time taken by the body to fal from point C to B is t^ . Then t₁+2 t^ =t₂ t^ = ( t₂-t₁ 2 ) ( i ) Total time taken to reach point C aligned T & =t₁+t^ & =t₁+ t₂-t₁ 2 & = 2 t₁+t₂-t₁ 2 & = ( t₁+t₂ 2 ) aligned Maximum height attained aligned H_ & = 1 2 g(T)^2 & = 1 2 g ( t₁+t₂ 2 )^2 & = 1 2 g (t₁+t₂ )^2 4 H_ & = 1 8 g (t₁+t₂ )^2 ~m aligned
