A particle is projected vertically upwards from the top of tower with velocity 10 m/s. It reaches the ground in 5 s. find
Average speed & average velocity of particle.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Time taken to reach B
`t_(AB) = (u)/(g) = (10)/(10) = 1 sec`.
`t_(AC) = 5sec`. (given so `t_(BC) = 5-1 = 4 sec`.
`S_(BC) = (1)/(2)"gt"^(2) =(1)/(2) (10)(4)^(2) = 80` m
`S_(AB) = (u^(2))/(2g) = ((10)^(2))/( 20 ) = 5`m
(a) Height of tower h `= 80 - 5 = 75` m
(b) ` v_c =0 + "gt"_(BC) = 40 m//s`
(c ) Distance travelled =` 5+ 80 = 85` m
(d) Average speed = `(85)/(5) = 17` m/s
Average velocity = `-(75)/(5) = - 15 m//s`

STATEMENT - 1 : A particle is projected vertically upwards with speed v. Starting from initial point, its average velocity is less than average speed than average speed when particle is returning back to ground. and STATEMENT - 2 : When particle turns back, its displacement is less than distance covered.
