Kinematics 5 Question 20
19. Particles and of mass and respectively are simultaneously projected from points and on the ground. The initial velocities of and make and angles respectively with the horizontal as shown in the figure. Each particle has an initial speed of . The separation is .
Both particles travel in the same vertical plane and undergo a collision. After the collision,
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 19. Just midway between
Solution:
- (a) Range of both the particles is
By symmetry we can say that they will collide at highest point.
Just before collision Just after collision
Let
i.e. particle
(b) Maximum height,
Therefore, time taken by
