JEE Main & Advanced Physics Motion in a Straight Line / सरल रेखा में गति Question Bank Motion Under Gravity

  • question_answer
    A body is thrown vertically upwards. If air resistance is to be taken into account, then the time during which the body rises is                                          [RPET 2000; KCET 2001; DPMT 2001]

    A)             Equal to the time of fall           

    B)             Less than the time of fall

    C)             Greater than the time of fall

    D)             Twice the time of fall

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Let the initial velocity of ball be u Time of rise \[{{t}_{1}}=\frac{u}{g+a}\]and height reached \[=\frac{{{u}^{2}}}{2(g+a)}\] Time of fall \[{{t}_{2}}\] is given by \[\frac{1}{2}(g-a)t_{2}^{2}=\frac{{{u}^{2}}}{2(g+a)}\] \[\Rightarrow {{t}_{2}}=\frac{u}{\sqrt{(g+a)(g-a)}}=\frac{u}{(g+a)}\sqrt{\frac{g+a}{g-a}}\] \[\therefore \]\[{{t}_{2}}>{{t}_{1}}\] because \[\frac{1}{g+a}<\frac{1}{g-a}\]
