Kinematics Question 165

Question: A particle is thrown up inside a stationary lift of sufficient height. The time of flight it’s T. Now is thrown again with same initial speed $ v _{0} $ with respect to lift. At the time of second throw, lift is moving up with speed $ v _{0} $ and uniform acceleration g upward (the acceleration due to gravity). The new time of flight it’s

Options:

A) $ \sqrt{2T} $

B) $ \frac{T}{2} $

C) $ T $

D) $ 2T $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] with respect to lift initial speed = $ v _{0} $

Acceleration = -2g Displacement = 0

$ \therefore S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2} $

$ 0=v _{0}T’+\frac{1}{2}\times 2g\times T{{’}^{2}} $

$ \therefore T’=\frac{v _{0}}{g}=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{2v _{0}}{g}=\frac{1}{2T} $
