Vedclass · Answer

(C) Let the height of the tower be $h$ and the acceleration due to gravity be $g$. The time taken to fall freely from height $h$ is given by $h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$,so $t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$.For the stone thrown upwards with velocity $V_0$,the displacement is $-h$:$-h = V_0 t_1 - \frac{1}{2}g t_1^2 \implies h = \frac{1}{2}g t_1^2 - V_0 t_1$. Since $h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$,we have $\frac{1}{2}gt^2 = \frac{1}{2}g t_1^2 - V_0 t_1 \implies V_0 t_1 = \frac{1}{2}g(t_1^2 - t^2) \dots (1)$.For the stone thrown downwards with velocity $V_0$,the displacement is $-h$:$-h = -V_0 t_2 - \frac{1}{2}g t_2^2 \implies h = V_0 t_2 + \frac{1}{2}g t_2^2$. Since $h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$,we have $\frac{1}{2}gt^2 = V_0 t_2 + \frac{1}{2}g t_2^2 \implies V_0 t_2 = \frac{1}{2}g(t^2 - t_2^2) \dots (2)$.Dividing equation $(1)$ by $(2)$:$\frac{V_0 t_1}{V_0 t_2} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}g(t_1^2 - t^2)}{\frac{1}{2}g(t^2 - t_2^2)} \implies \frac{t_1}{t_2} = \frac{t_1^2 - t^2}{t^2 - t_2^2}$.Cross-multiplying: $t_1 t^2 - t_1 t_2^2 = t_2 t_1^2 - t_2 t^2$.$t^2(t_1 + t_2) = t_1 t_2(t_1 + t_2)$.$t^2 = t_1 t_2 \implies t = \sqrt{t_1 t_2}$.

$A$ balloon starts rising from the ground with an acceleration of $1.25\, m/s^2$. After $8\,s$,a stone is released from the balloon. The stone will $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$:

$A$ ball is dropped from a tower of height $80 \,m$. The time it takes to cover the last $50 \%$ of its fall is (acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$)

Assertion: The zero velocity of a particle at any instant always implies zero acceleration at that instant.
Reason: $A$ body is momentarily at rest when it reverses its direction of motion.
The correct option among the following is:

$A, B, C$ are points in a vertical line such that $AB = BC$. If a body falls freely from rest at $A$, and $t_1$ and $t_2$ are the times taken to travel distances $AB$ and $BC$ respectively, then the ratio $(t_2 / t_1)$ is:

$A$ stone is dropped from a height of $100 \ m$, while another one is projected vertically upwards from the ground with a velocity of $25 \ m/s$ at the same time. The time in seconds after which they will have the same height is (acceleration due to gravity, $g = 10 \ m/s^2$):
