A body is projected vertically up. What is the distance covered in its last second of upward motion? `(g=10 m//s^(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The distance covered by the object in its last second of its upward motion is equal to the distance covered in the first second of its downward motion.
Hence `s=1//2 gt^(2)=1//2 xx 10 xx 1=5 m`

A body is projected vertically upward with speed 40m/s. The distance travelled by body in the last second of upward journey is [take g=9.8m/s^(2) and neglect eggect of air rresistance]:-

Assertion: If a body is dropped from the top of a twoer of height h and another body is thrown up simultaneously with velocity u from the foot of the tower, then both of them would meet after a time (h)/(u) . Reason: For a body projected upwards, the distance covered by the body in the last second of its upwards journey is always 4.9m irrespective of velocity of projection (g=9.8 m//s^(2))

Show that if a body is projected vertically upward from the surface of the earth so as to reach a height nR above the surface (i) the increase in its potential energy is ((n)/(n + 1)) mgR , (ii) the velocity with which it must be projected is sqrt((2ngR)/(n + 1)) , where r is the radius of the earth and m the mass of body.
