KVPY2012PhysicsMotion in Two Dimensions
A ball falls vertically downward and bounces off a horizontal floor. The speed of the ball just before reaching the floor ( u ₁ ) is equal to the speed just after having contact with the floor ( u ₂ ) ; u ₁= u ₂ . The corresponding magnitudes of accelerations are denoted respectively by a₁ and a₂ . The air resistance during motion is proportional to speed and is not negligible. If g is acceleration due to gravity, th
Options
- Aa₁ < a₂
- Ba₁>a₂
- Ca ₁= a ₂ g
- Da ₁= a ₂= g
Correct answer
A. a₁ < a₂
Step-by-step solution
Downward- a₁=g- F_ R m Upward:- a₂=g+ F_ R m a ₂ < a ₁
