Kinematics Question 181

Question: A body is thrown vertically upwards. If air resistance is to be taken into account, then the time during which the body rises is [RPET 2000; KCET 2001; DPMT 2001]

Options:

A) Equal to the time of fall

B) Less than the time of fall

C) Greater than the time of fall

D) Twice the time of fall

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Let the initial velocity of ball be u Time of rise t1=ug+a

and height reached =u22(g+a)

Time of fall t2 is given by 12(ga)t22=u22(g+a)
t2=u(g+a)(ga)=u(g+a)g+aga
t2>t1 because 1g+a<1ga
