Q24 of 24 Page 60

Two stones are thrown vertically upwards simultaneously with their initial velocities u and u respectively. Prove that the heights reached by them would be in the ratio of : (Assume upward acceleration is –g and downward acceleration to be +g).

We know for upward motion,

v2= u2 - 2gh


so,


h=v2 -u2/2g


Highest point v=0


so,


H=u2/2g


Height for first ball, h1= u12/2g


Height for second ball, h2= u22/2g


Then, h1/h2= (u12/2g) /(u22/2g)


= u12/u22


= h1:h2


=u12: u22 Proved

An object starting from rest travels 20 m in first 2 s and 160 m in next 4 s. What will be the velocity after 7 s from the start?

21

Using following data, draw time - displacement graph for a moving object:











Time (s)



0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16



Displacement (m)



2 4 4 4 6 4 2 0



Use this graph to find average velocity for first 4 s, for next 4 s and for last 6 s.

An electron moving with a velocity of 5×104 m s-1 enters into a uniform electric field and acquires a uniform acceleration of 104 m s–2 in the direction of its initial motion.

(i) Calculate the time in which the electron would acquire a velocity double of its initial velocity.


(ii) How much distance the electron would cover in this time?

23

Obtain a relation for the distance travelled by an object moving with a uniform acceleration in the interval between 4th and 5th seconds.
