Kinematics Question 512

Question: A man standing on the roof of a house of height h throws one particle vertically downwards and another particle horizontally with the same velocity u. The ratio of their velocities when they reach the earth’s surface will be

Options:

A) 2gh+u2:u

B) 1:2

C) 1:1

D) 2gh+u2:2gh

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] When particle is thrown in vertical downward direction with velocity u, then the final velocity at the ground level it’s v2=u2+2gh

v=u2+2gh

Another particle is thrown horizontally with same velocity then at the surface of earth.

Horizontal component of velocity vx=u

Therefore, resultant velocity, v=u2+2gh

For both the particles, final velocities when they reach the earth’ surface are equal.
