A person sitting in an open car moving at constant velocity throws a ball vertically up into air. The ball falls

A

outside the car

B

in the car ahead of the person

C

in the car to the side of the person

D

exactly in the hand which threw it up

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Horizontal velocity of ball and person are same so both will cover equal horizontal distance in a given interval of time and after following the parabolic path the ball falls exactly in the hand which threw it up.

A person standing on the roof of a building throws a ball vertically upward at an instant t = 0 . The ball leaves his hand with an upward speed 20 m/s and it is then in free fall. The ball rises to a certain height and then moves down. On its way down, the ball just misses to hit the roof of the building and keeps falling towards the earth. the ball hits earth at t = 5 sec. considering that (i) the vertically upward direction is the positive Y-direction (ii) the position of ball at t = 0 is the origin (iii) the ball does not rebound and comes to rest at the same place where it hits earth and (iv) air resistance is negligible. (Take g = 10 m//s^(2) ) Velocity of the ball will vary with time as:
