A stunt performer is to run and dive off a tall platform and land in a net in the back of a truck below. Originally the truck is directly under the plateform, it starts forward with a constant acceleration a at the same instant the performer leaves the plateform. If the platform is H above the net in the truck, then the horizontal velocity u that the performer must have as he leaves the platform is -

A

`asqrt(2H//g)`

B

`asqrt(H//2g)`

C

`asqrt(g//2H)`

D

None of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2

`(1)/(2)at^(2)=ut`
`u=(a)/(2)sqrt((2H)/(g))`
`u=asqrt((H)/(2g))`
