    If retardation produced by air resistance of projectile is one-tenth of acceleration due to gravity, the time to reach maximum height

    A) decreases by 11 percent

    B) increases by 11 percent

    C) decreases by 9 percent

    D) increases by 9 percent

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] The time to reach the maximum height without air resistance; \[{{t}_{1}}=\frac{u}{g}=\frac{u}{10}\], and with air resistance, \[{{t}_{2}}=\frac{u}{10+1}=\frac{u}{11}\] \[=\frac{{{t}_{1}}-{{t}_{2}}}{{{t}_{1}}}\times 100=\left[ \frac{\frac{\text{u}}{\text{10}}-\frac{\text{u}}{\text{11}}}{\frac{\text{u}}{\text{10}}} \right]\times 100\] \[=9%\text{ }\left( \text{decreases} \right)\]
