A

`H_(2) = 4H_(1)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the heights \( H_1 \) and \( H_2 \) attained by two stones thrown vertically upwards with different initial velocities. We will use the kinematic equation that relates initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, and displacement. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the variables:** - For the first stone: - Initial velocity \( u_1 = 5 \, \text{m/s} \) - Final velocity \( v_1 = 0 \, \text{m/s} \) (at the maximum height) - Acceleration \( a = -g \) (where \( g \approx 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)) - Displacement \( H_1 \) (height attained) - For the second stone: - Initial velocity \( u_2 = 10 \, \text{m/s} \) - Final velocity \( v_2 = 0 \, \text{m/s} \) (at the maximum height) - Acceleration \( a = -g \) - Displacement \( H_2 \) (height attained) 2. **Use the kinematic equation:** The kinematic equation we will use is: \[ v^2 = u^2 + 2a s \] Rearranging this for displacement \( s \): \[ s = \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2a} \] 3. **Calculate \( H_1 \) for the first stone:** Plugging in the values for the first stone: \[ H_1 = \frac{0^2 - (5)^2}{2(-g)} = \frac{-25}{-2g} = \frac{25}{2g} \] 4. **Calculate \( H_2 \) for the second stone:** Plugging in the values for the second stone: \[ H_2 = \frac{0^2 - (10)^2}{2(-g)} = \frac{-100}{-2g} = \frac{100}{2g} = \frac{50}{g} \] 5. **Relate \( H_1 \) and \( H_2 \):** Now we can express \( H_2 \) in terms of \( H_1 \): \[ H_1 = \frac{25}{2g} \quad \text{and} \quad H_2 = \frac{100}{2g} = 4 \cdot \frac{25}{2g} = 4H_1 \] 6. **Conclusion:** The relationship between the heights attained by the two stones is: \[ H_2 = 4H_1 \] ### Final Answer: The correct relation between \( H_1 \) and \( H_2 \) is: \[ H_2 = 4H_1 \]
