A particle of mass 2m2 \mathrm{ m} is projected at an angle of 45∘45^{{}^{\circ}} with the horizontal with a velocity of 202m/s20 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{ m} / \mathrm{s}. After 1s1 \mathrm{ s}, explosion takes place and the particle is broken into two equal pieces. As a result of explosion, one part comes to rest. The maximum height from the ground attained by the other part is

Options

  2. B25m25 \mathrm{ m}
  3. C40m40 \mathrm{ m}
  4. D35m35 \mathrm{ m}

Correct answer

D. 35m35 \mathrm{ m}

Step-by-step solution

Given : Initial velocity u0=202m/s;u_{0}=20 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{ m} / \mathrm{s} ; angle of projection θ=45∘\theta=45^{{}^{\circ}} Therefore horizontal and vertical components of initial velocity are ux=202cos⁡45∘=20m/s\mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{x}}=20 \sqrt{2} \cos 45^{{}^{\circ}}=20 \mathrm{ m} / \mathrm{s} and uy=202sin⁡45∘=20m/s\mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{y}}=20 \sqrt{2} \sin 45^{{}^{\circ}}=20 \mathrm{ m} / \mathrm{s} After 1s1 \mathrm{ s}, horizontal component remains unchanged while the vertical component becomes vy=uy−gtv_{y}=u_{y}-g t Due to explosion, one part comes to rest. Hence, from the conservation of linear momentum, vertical component of second part will become vy′=20m/sv_y^{\prime}=20 m / s Therefore, maximum height attained by the second part will be H=h1+h2\mathrm{H}=\mathrm{h}_{1}+\mathrm{h}_{2} Using, h=ut+12at2⇒h1=(20×1)−12×10×(1)2=15m\mathrm{h}=\mathrm{ut}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{at}^{2}\Rightarrow \mathrm{h}_{1}=(20 \times 1)-\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times(1)^{2}=15 \mathrm{ m}\mathrm{a}=\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{ m} / \mathrms^{2}\mathrm{h}_{2}=\frac{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrmy^{\prime 2}}{2 \mathrm{ g}}=\frac{(20)^{2}}{2 \times 10}=20 \mathrm{ m}\mathrm{H}=20+15=35 \mathrm{ m}
