A big Diwali rocket is projected vertically upward so as to attain a maximum height of 160 m. The rocket explodes just as it reaches the top of its trajectory sending out luminous particles in all possible directions all with same speed v. The display, consisting of the luminous particles, spreads out as an expanding, brilliant sphere. The bottom of this sphere just touches the ground when its radius is 80 m. With what speed `("in" m//s)`are the luminous particles ejected by the explosion?

Answer

2

Explanation

`0 = vt - 1/2 "gt"^2` …….(i)
`160 = vt + 1/2 "gt"^2` ………..(ii)
On solving , ` v= 20 ms^(-1)`
