Physics Two Dimensional Motion Question 59

Question: A man standing on the roof of a house of height $ h $ throws one particle vertically downwards and another particle horizontally with the same velocity u. The ratio of their velocities when they reach the earth’s surface will be

Options:

A) $ \sqrt{2gh+u^{2}},:u $ B) $ 1:2 $ C) $ 1:1 $ D) $ \sqrt{2gh+u^{2},}:\sqrt{2gh} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] When particle is thrown in vertical downward direction with velocity u, then the final velocity at the ground level is $ v^{2}=u^{2}+2gh $

$ \

Therefore v=\sqrt{u^{2}+2gh} $ Another particle is thrown horizontally with same velocity then at the surface of earth. Horizontal component of velocity $ v_{x}=u $

Therefore, resultant velocity, $ v=\sqrt{u^{2}+2gh} $ For both the particles, final velocities when they reach the earth’s surface are not necessarily equal.
