A projectile is fired vertically upwards with an initial velocity u. After an interval of T seconds a second projectile is fired vertically upwards, also with initial velocity is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

They meet at time

t = \frac{u}{g} + \frac{T}{2}

and at a height

\frac{{{u^2}}}{{2g}} - \frac{{g{T^2}}}{8}

Option C (They meet at time

t = \frac{u}{g} + \frac{T}{2}

and at a height

\frac{{{{u^2}}}}{{2g}} - \frac{{g{{T^2}}}}{8}

) is correct because it is derived from equating the heights of the two projectiles at a given time.

Assertion: In a free fall, the initial velocity of a body may not be zero.
Reason: Free fall means the vertical acceleration of the body is equal to

\mathrm{g}

. A ball is thrown vertically upward with speed 15 m/s and it returns to the ground with speed 10 m/s as a constant air resistance acts. The maximum height attained by the ball is Which of the following is not a derived quantites? Assertion: If a body is dropped from the top of a tower of height

\mathrm{h}

and another body is thrown up simultaneously with velocity

\mathrm{u}

from the foot of the tower, then both of them would meet after a time

\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{u}}

.
Reason: For a body projected upwards, the distance covered by the body in the last second of its upward journey is always

4.9 \mathrm{~m}

irrespective of velocity of projection.

(\mathrm{g}=9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2)

A particle is having uniform acceleration. If its displacement from

(t+1)

second is

120 \mathrm{~m}

and change in velocity is

50 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

. Find its displacement (in

\mathrm{m}

) in

(t+2)

second. An aeroplane flies 400m north and 300m south and then flies 1200m upwards, then net displacement is
