A stone is projected from a point on the ground in such a way so as to hit a bird at height 3 h and could attain a maximum height 4 h above the ground. If at the instant of projection, the bird flies away horizontally with speed 10 m s - 1 and the stone still hits the bird while descending, then the horizontal velocity of stone is
Options
- A8   m   s - 1
- B15 m s - 1
- C12   m   s - 1
- D9 m s - 1
Correct answer
B. 15 m s - 1
Step-by-step solution
Particle taken t 1 time to reach from 0 to 3 h and also t 1 to reach from 3 h to 4 h and yet again t 1 time from 4 h to 3 h . ∴   v x 3 t 1 - 10 × 3 t 1 = v x t 1 ⇒   v x   =   15   m   s - 1
