A massive vertical wall is approaching a man at a speed uu. When it is at a distance of 10m10m, the man throws a ball with speed 10m/s10m / s at an angle of 37°37 °,& which after having a completely elastic collision with the wall,& reaches back directly into the hands of the man.& The velocity of the wall is

A massive vertical wall is approaching a man at a speed u . When it is at a distance of 10m , the man throws a ball

Options

  1. A133m/s\dfrac{\text{13}}{3} \text{m/s}
  2. B182m/s\dfrac{\text{18}}{2} \text{m/s}
  3. C264m/s\dfrac{\text{26}}{4} \text{m/s}
  4. D315m/s\dfrac{\text{31}}{5} \text{m/s}

Correct answer

A. 133m/s\dfrac{\text{13}}{3} \text{m/s}

Step-by-step solution

As the vertical motion remains unaffected

T=2 u sin\thetag⇒T=2×10×3/510\text{T}=\dfrac{\text{2 u sin} \text{\theta}}{\text{g}} ⇒ \text{T}=\dfrac{2 \times \text{10} \times \text{3/5}}{\text{10}}

T=65s...(1)\text{T}=\dfrac{6}{5}\text{s}\text{...(1)}

from coefficient of restitutation along the line of collision

e=relative velocity of separation after collisionrelative velocity of approach before collision\text{e}=\dfrac{\text{relative velocity of separation after collision}}{\text{relative velocity of approach before collision}}

A massive vertical wall is approaching a man at a speed u . When it is at a distance of 10m , the man throws a ball

1=v−u8+u1=\dfrac{\text{v} - \text{u}}{8 + \text{u}}

v - 2u=8 & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & &...(2)

by the time (t_{1}) ball collide with wall, distance travelled by man=10 - ut_{1}

t1=108+u...(3){t}_{1}=\dfrac{\text{10}}{8 + \text{u}} \text{...(3)}

by the time(t2)ball reach the hand of mant2=10−u1v...(4)\text{by the time} \left({t}_{2}\right) \text{ball reach the hand of man} {t}_{2}=\dfrac{\text{10} - {u}_{1}}{\text{v}} \text{...(4)}

Since T=t_{1} + t_{2} & & & &...(5)
from equation (2), (3), (4), (5)& & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & &

u=133m/s\text{u}=\dfrac{\text{13}}{3} \text{m/s}
