Kinematics Question 618
Question: A body is projected vertically upwards with a velocity u, after time t another body is projected vertically upwards from the same point with a velocity v, where v < u. If they meet as soon as possible, then choose the correct option
Options:
A)
B)
C)
D)
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
[b] Let the two bodies meet each other at a height h after time T of the projection of second body .
Then before meeting, the first body was in motion for time (t + T) whereas the second body was in motion for time T.
The distance moved by the first body in time
And the distance moved by the second body in time
Hence,
Also from (1) we get,
Substituting this value of T in (2), we get
or
or
Neglecting the negative sign which gives negative value of t.
