    A body, thrown upwards with some velocity, reaches the maximum height of 20 m. Another body with double the mass thrown up, with double initial velocity will reach a maximum of:

    A)  200 m                  

    B)  16 am

    C)  80 m                    

    D)  40 m

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Initial height of the body\[{{h}_{1}}=20\,m\] Initial mass of the first body \[{{m}_{1}}=m\] Final mass of the body\[{{m}_{2}}=2\,m\] Final velocity \[=2\,\upsilon \] The equation of motion for maximum heights \[{{\upsilon }^{2}}={{u}^{2}}-2gh\] or                            \[0={{u}^{2}}-2gh\] or                            \[2gh={{u}^{2}}\] or                            \[h\propto {{u}^{2}}\] Hence                   \[\frac{{{h}_{1}}}{{{h}_{2}}}={{\left( \frac{{{u}_{1}}}{{{u}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}\] \[\frac{{{h}_{1}}}{{{h}_{2}}}=\left( \frac{u}{2u} \right)=\frac{1}{4}\]                 or            \[{{h}_{2}}=4h=4\times 20=80\,m\]
