A slide with a frictionless curved surface, which becomes horizontal at its lower end, is fixed on the terrace of a building of height 3h3h from the ground, as shown in the figure. A spherical ball of mass mm is released on the slide from rest at a height hh from the top of the terrace. The ball leaves the slide with a velocity u→0=u0x∧\overset{\to}{u}0 = {u}_{0}\overset{∧}{x} and falls on the ground at a distance dd from the building making an angle θ\theta with the horizontal. It bounces off with a velocity v→\overset{\to}{v} and reaches a maximum height h1{h}_{1}. The acceleration due to gravity is gg and the coefficient of restitution of the ground is 13\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?

A slide with a frictionless curved surface, which becomes horizontal at its lower end, is fixed on the terrace of a

Options

  1. Au→0=2ghx∧\overset{\to}{u}0 = \sqrt{2gh}\overset{∧}{x}
  2. Bv→=2gh(x∧−z∧)\overset{\to}{v} = \sqrt{2gh}\left(\overset{∧}{x} - \overset{∧}{z}\right)
  3. Cθ=60o\theta = {60}^{o}
  4. Ddh1=23\dfrac{d}{{h}_{1}} = 2\sqrt{3}

Correct answer

A. u→0=2ghx∧\overset{\to}{u}0 = \sqrt{2gh}\overset{∧}{x}

Step-by-step solution

A slide with a frictionless curved surface, which becomes horizontal at its lower end, is fixed on the terrace of a

Using energy conservation,

mgh=12m(u0)2mgh = \dfrac{1}{2}m{\left({u}_{0}\right)}^{2}

⇒u0=2gh⇒ {u}_{0} = \sqrt{2gh}

u0{u}_{0} is the horizontal component of the velocity throughout the flight. For vertical component of the velocity(just before collision with the ground), we can use equation of motion

(vz)2=02+2(−g)(−3h)⇒vz=6gh{\left({v}_{z}\right)}^{2} = {0}^{2} + 2\left(- g\right)\left(- 3h\right) ⇒ {v}_{z} = \sqrt{6gh}

Angle θ\theta can be written as,

tanθ=vzu=3tan\theta = \dfrac{{v}_{z}}{u} = \sqrt{3}

⇒θ=60o⇒ \theta = {60}^{o}

Horizontal distance covered just before the collision will be,

d=u0T=u02(3hg)=2gh(2)(3hg)=23hd = {u}_{0}T = {u}_{0}\sqrt{2\left(\dfrac{3h}{g}\right)} = \sqrt{2gh}\sqrt{\left(2\right)\left(\dfrac{3h}{g}\right)} = 2\sqrt{3}h

After collision, only velocity along zz-direction changes. Therefore,

v1=evz=2gh{v}_{1} = e{v}_{z} = \sqrt{2gh} and hence

v→=u0i∧+v1k∧\overset{\to}{v} = {u}_{0}\overset{∧}{i} + {v}_{1}\overset{∧}{k}

=2gh[i∧+k∧]=2gh[x∧+z∧]= \sqrt{2gh}\left[\overset{∧}{i} + \overset{∧}{k}\right] = \sqrt{2gh}\left[\overset{∧}{x} + \overset{∧}{z}\right]

Now, maximum height achieved after collision will be,

h1=v122g=h{h}_{1} = \dfrac{{{v}_{1}}^{2}}{2g} = h.

Finally, u0=2gh,θ=60o,dh1=23{u}_{0} = \sqrt{2gh}, \theta = {60}^{o}, \dfrac{d}{{h}_{1}} = 2\sqrt{3}.
