Two balls are dropped from the same height at two different places A and B where the acceleration due to gravities are `g_A and g_B`. The body at 'B' takes 't' seconds less to reach the ground and strikes the ground with a velocity greater than at 'A' by `upsilon m//s`. Then the value of `upsilon//t` is

A

`1/(sqrt(g_A g_B))`

B

`2sqrt(g_A g_B)`

C

`1/(g_A g_B)`

D

`sqrt(g_A g_B)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of the two balls dropped from the same height at two different places A and B, where the acceleration due to gravity is different at each location. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - Let the height from which the balls are dropped be \( h \). - The acceleration due to gravity at A is \( g_A \) and at B is \( g_B \). - Let \( t_A \) be the time taken by the ball at A to reach the ground and \( t_B \) be the time taken by the ball at B. - According to the problem, \( t_A = t_B + t \) (where \( t \) is the time difference). 2. **Using the Equation of Motion**: - For ball A, using the equation \( h = \frac{1}{2} g_A t_A^2 \): \[ h = \frac{1}{2} g_A t_A^2 \implies t_A^2 = \frac{2h}{g_A} \implies t_A = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g_A}} \] - For ball B, using the equation \( h = \frac{1}{2} g_B t_B^2 \): \[ h = \frac{1}{2} g_B t_B^2 \implies t_B^2 = \frac{2h}{g_B} \implies t_B = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g_B}} \] 3. **Relating the Times**: - Since \( t_A = t_B + t \), we can express this as: \[ \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g_A}} = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g_B}} + t \] 4. **Squaring Both Sides**: - Squaring both sides gives: \[ \frac{2h}{g_A} = \left(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g_B}} + t\right)^2 \] - Expanding the right side: \[ \frac{2h}{g_A} = \frac{2h}{g_B} + 2t\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g_B}} + t^2 \] 5. **Rearranging the Equation**: - Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{2h}{g_A} - \frac{2h}{g_B} = 2t\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g_B}} + t^2 \] - Factoring out \( 2h \): \[ 2h \left(\frac{1}{g_A} - \frac{1}{g_B}\right) = 2t\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g_B}} + t^2 \] 6. **Finding the Velocities**: - The final velocity of the ball at A is: \[ v_A = g_A t_A = g_A \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g_A}} = \sqrt{2hg_A} \] - The final velocity of the ball at B is: \[ v_B = g_B t_B = g_B \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g_B}} = \sqrt{2hg_B} \] - Given that \( v_B = v_A + \upsilon \): \[ \sqrt{2hg_B} = \sqrt{2hg_A} + \upsilon \] 7. **Finding \( \frac{\upsilon}{t} \)**: - From the equations, we can derive: \[ \upsilon = \sqrt{2hg_B} - \sqrt{2hg_A} \] - Using the time difference \( t \) and the relationships derived, we can find: \[ \frac{\upsilon}{t} = \sqrt{g_A g_B} \] ### Final Result: Thus, the value of \( \frac{\upsilon}{t} \) is: \[ \frac{\upsilon}{t} = \sqrt{g_A g_B} \]
