Answer:

Correct Answer: 3. (d)

Solution:

  1. When a ball is thrown vertically upward, then the acceleration of the ball,

a =acceleration due to gravity ( g ) (acting in the downward direction).

Now, using the equation of motion,

v2=u22gh or h=v2+u22g

As we know, momentum, p=mv or v=p/m

So, substituting the value of v in Eq. (i), we get

h=u2(p/m)22g

As we know that, at the maximum height, velocity of the ball thrown would be zero.

So, for the flight when the ball is thrown till is reaches the maximum height (h).

v changes from u to 0

p changes from mu to 0

Similarly, when it reacher it’s initial point, then

h changes from hmax  to 0

Also, p changes from 0 to some values.

Thus, these conditions are only satisfied in the plot given in option (d).
