    A man in a balloon rising vertically with an acceleration of \[4.9\,m/{{\sec }^{2}}\] releases a ball 2 sec after the balloon is let go from the ground. The greatest height above the ground reached by the ball is \[(g=9.8\,m/{{\sec }^{2}})\]       [MNR 1986]

    A)             14.7 m

    B)             19.6 m

    C)             9.8 m  

    D)             24.5 m

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Height travelled by ball (with balloon) in 2 sec             \[{{h}_{1}}=\frac{1}{2}a\ {{t}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\times 4.9\times {{2}^{2}}=9.8\ m\]             Velocity of the balloon after 2 sec             \[v=a\ t=4.9\times 2=9.8\ m/s\]             Now if the ball is released from the balloon then it acquire same velocity in upward direction.             Let it move up to maximum height \[{{h}_{2}}\]             \[{{v}^{2}}={{u}^{2}}-2g{{h}_{2}}\] Þ \[0={{(9.8)}^{2}}-2\times (9.8)\times {{h}_{2}}\]\[\therefore \]\[{{h}_{2}}\]=4.9m             Greatest height above the ground reached by the ball \[={{h}_{1}}+{{h}_{2}}=9.8+4.9=14.7\ m\]
