A body A is thrown vertically upwards with initial velocity `v_(1)`. Another body B is dropped from a height h. Find how the distance x between the bodies depends on the time t if the bodies begin to move simultaneously.

A

`x= h -v_(1)t`

B

`x = (h-v_(1))t`

C

`x=h - (v_(1))/(t)`

D

`x= (h)/(t) - v_(1)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of both bodies A and B, and then find the distance \( x \) between them as a function of time \( t \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the motions of the two bodies**: - Body A is thrown upwards with an initial velocity \( v_1 \). - Body B is dropped from a height \( h \) with an initial velocity of 0. 2. **Write the equation of motion for Body A**: - The displacement \( h_1 \) of Body A after time \( t \) can be given by the equation: \[ h_1 = v_1 t - \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] - Here, \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity, and we take upward direction as positive. 3. **Write the equation of motion for Body B**: - The displacement \( h_2 \) of Body B after time \( t \) can be given by: \[ h_2 = \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] - Since Body B is falling downwards, we consider its displacement as positive in the downward direction. 4. **Relate the distances**: - The total height \( h \) can be expressed as: \[ h = h_1 + x + h_2 \] - Rearranging gives: \[ x = h - h_1 - h_2 \] 5. **Substitute the expressions for \( h_1 \) and \( h_2 \)**: - Substitute \( h_1 \) and \( h_2 \) into the equation for \( x \): \[ x = h - \left(v_1 t - \frac{1}{2} g t^2\right) - \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ x = h - v_1 t + \frac{1}{2} g t^2 - \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] - The \( \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \) terms cancel out: \[ x = h - v_1 t \] 6. **Final expression**: - The distance \( x \) between the two bodies as a function of time \( t \) is: \[ x = h - v_1 t \] ### Conclusion: The distance \( x \) between the two bodies depends linearly on time \( t \) and is given by the equation: \[ x = h - v_1 t \]
