Kinematics Question 514

Question: Pankaj and Sudhir are playing with two different balls of masses m and 2m , respectively. If Pankaj throws his ball vertically up and Sudhir at an angleθ , both of them stay in our view for the same period. The height attained by the two balls are in the ratio

Options:

A) 2 : 1

B) 1 : 1

C) 1:cosθ

D) 1:secθ

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Time of flight for the ball thrown by pankaj, T1=2u1g

time of flight for the ball thrown by sudhir T2=2u2sin(90θ)g2u2cosθg

According to problem T1=T2

2u1g=2u2cosθg

u1=u2cosθ

Height of the ball thrown by pankaj H1=u122g

Height of the thrown by sudhir H2=u22sin2(90θ)2g

H2=u22sin2(90θ)2g=u22cos2θ2g

H1H2=u12/2gu22cos2θ/2g=1

[Asu1=u2cosθ]
