The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze each option using the formula for height \( h \) given by: \[ h = -ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \] where: - \( h \) = height from the ground, - \( u \) = initial velocity, - \( g \) = acceleration due to gravity (approximately \( 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)), - \( t \) = time in seconds. ### Step-by-step Solution: #### (a) A body projected vertically with velocity 'u' from the top of a tower, reaches the ground in 't' sec. 1. Here, the body is projected upward with an initial velocity \( u \). 2. The height \( h \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ h = -ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \] 3. Since the body is projected upwards, we consider \( u \) as positive, and the height will be positive. 4. This option is valid as it correctly describes the motion. **Conclusion**: This option is valid. #### (b) A body dropped from a balloon moving up with uniform velocity, reaches the ground in 't' sec. 1. The balloon is moving upward with a uniform velocity \( u \). 2. When the body is dropped, its initial velocity will be \( -u \) (since it is moving in the opposite direction). 3. The height can be calculated as: \[ h = -(-u)t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2 = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \] 4. This option is valid as it correctly describes the motion. **Conclusion**: This option is valid. #### (c) A body dropped from a helicopter moving up with uniform velocity, reaches the ground in 't' sec. 1. Similar to option (b), the helicopter is moving upward with a uniform velocity \( u \). 2. When the body is dropped, its initial velocity will also be \( -u \). 3. The height can be calculated as: \[ h = -(-u)t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2 = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \] 4. This option is valid as it correctly describes the motion. **Conclusion**: This option is valid. #### (d) A body projected vertically from the ground reaches the ground in 't' sec. 1. Here, the body is projected upward from the ground with an initial velocity \( u \). 2. The height can be calculated using the formula: \[ h = -ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \] 3. This option is valid as it correctly describes the motion. **Conclusion**: This option is valid. ### Final Conclusion: All options (a), (b), (c), and (d) are valid. The correct answer is that options (b) and (d) are particularly highlighted as correct in the context of the problem.
