A body projected vertically upwards crosses a point twice in its journey at a height h just after t₁ and t₂ seconds. Maximum height reached by the body is
Options
- Ag 4 (t₁+t₂ )^2
- Bg ( t₁+t₂ 4 )^2
- C2 g ( t₁+t₂ 4 )^2
- Dg 4 (t₁ t₂ )
Correct answer
C. 2 g ( t₁+t₂ 4 )^2
Step-by-step solution
Time taken by the body to reach the point A is t₁ (During upward journey). The body crosess this point again (during downward journey) after t₂ , i.e., the body takes the time (t₂-t₁ ) to come again at point A . So, the time taken by the body to reach at point B (at maximum height). t=t₁+ ( t₂-t₁ 2 ) [ Time of ascending = Time of descending] t= t₁+t₂ 2 So, maximum height, H= 1 2 g t^2= 1 2 g ( t₁+t₂ 2 )^2=2 g ( t₁+t₂ 4 )^2
