The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of both bodies A and B, which are thrown from the top of a tower. Let's denote the height of the tower as \( h \). ### Step 1: Analyze the motion of body A (thrown upwards) - Body A is thrown upwards with an initial velocity \( u \). - The time taken by body A to reach the ground is \( t_A \). - As it goes up, it will first come to a stop and then fall back down to the ground. Using the kinematic equation for the upward motion: \[ v_A^2 = u^2 - 2gh \] where \( v_A \) is the final velocity when it reaches the ground. ### Step 2: Analyze the motion of body B (thrown downwards) - Body B is thrown downwards with the same initial velocity \( u \). - The time taken by body B to reach the ground is \( t_B \). Using the kinematic equation for the downward motion: \[ v_B^2 = u^2 + 2gh \] where \( v_B \) is the final velocity when it reaches the ground. ### Step 3: Relate the velocities of A and B From the equations derived: 1. For body A: \[ v_A^2 = u^2 - 2gh \] 2. For body B: \[ v_B^2 = u^2 + 2gh \] ### Step 4: Compare the velocities Since both bodies are thrown with the same initial velocity \( u \), we can compare their final velocities: - The final velocity of body A when it reaches the ground is: \[ v_A = \sqrt{u^2 - 2gh} \] - The final velocity of body B when it reaches the ground is: \[ v_B = \sqrt{u^2 + 2gh} \] From this, we can conclude that: \[ v_B > v_A \] ### Step 5: Analyze the times of flight For body A, the total time of flight \( t_A \) can be expressed as: \[ t_A = t_{up} + t_{down} \] - The time to reach the maximum height \( t_{up} \) is given by: \[ t_{up} = \frac{u}{g} \] - The time to fall back down from the maximum height to the ground can be calculated using: \[ h + \frac{u^2}{2g} = \frac{1}{2} g t_{down}^2 \implies t_{down} = \sqrt{\frac{2h + \frac{u^2}{g}}{g}} \] For body B, the time of flight \( t_B \) is: \[ t_B = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} + \frac{u}{g} \] ### Step 6: Compare the times of flight From the analysis, we can conclude that: \[ t_A > t_B \] ### Conclusion Thus, we find that: - \( v_A < v_B \) - \( t_A > t_B \) ### Final Answer - \( v_A = v_B \) (not true) - \( t_A > t_B \) (true) - The correct option is that the velocity of body A is less than that of body B, and the time of flight of body A is greater than that of body B.
