A particle is dropped from a height h. Another particle which is initially at a horizontal distance d from the first is simultaneously projected with a horizontal velocity u and the two particles just collide on the ground. Then

A

`d^(2)=(u^(2)h)/(2g)`

B

`d^(2)=(2u^(2)h)/g`

C

`d=h`

D

`gd^(2)=u^(2)h`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Time to reach at ground`=sqrt((2h)/g)`

In this time horizontal displacement
`d=uxxsqrt((2h)/g)rArr d^(2)=(u^(2)xx2h)/g`

A particle (A) is dropped from a height and another particles (B) is thrown into horizontal direction with speed of 5m/s sec from the same height. The correct statement is

A body A is dropped from a height h above the ground. At the same time another body B (at a horizontal' distance d from the line of fall of A) is fired from the ground at an angle alpha to the horizontal.

A particle is projected from point A on the ground at an angle theta with horizontal. Another particle is projected from point B simultaneously from height 4 H above point A with same velocity A and B are in the same vertical plane, where H is the maximum height attained by the particle A, Both the particle collide at the same time on the ground. Find the angle at which particle B is projected with hoizontal.

Assertion Particle-1 is dropped from a tower and particle-2 is projected horizontal from the same tower. Then both the particles reach the ground simultaneously. Reason Both are particles strike the ground with different speeds.

Assertion : A body droped from a given height and another body projected horizontal from the same height strike the ground simultaneously Reason : Because horizontal velocity has no effect in the vertical direction .
