JEE Main & Advanced Physics Motion in a Straight Line / सरल रेखा में गति JEE PYQ - One Dimensional Motion

  • question_answer
    From a building, two balls A and B are thrown such that A is thrown upwards and B downwards (both vertically). If \[{{v}_{A}}\] and \[{{v}_{B}}\] are their respective velocities on reaching the ground, then                        [AIEEE 2002]

    A) \[{{v}_{B}}>{{v}_{A}}\]

    B) \[{{v}_{A}}={{v}_{B}}\]

    C) \[{{v}_{A}}>{{v}_{B}}\]

    D) their velocities depend on their masses

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] As there is no external force acting on the body any all the internal forces are conservative. So, we can apply the principle of conservation of energy. From conservation of energy, Potential energy at height h
                = KE at ground
                [\[\because \]KE at height = PE at ground = 0]
                Therefore, at height h, PE of ball A
                                        \[PE={{m}_{A}}gh\]
                KE at ground \[=\frac{1}{2}{{m}_{A}}v_{A}^{2}\]
                So,       \[{{m}_{A}}gh=\frac{1}{2}{{m}_{A}}v_{A}^{2}\]
                            \[{{v}_{A}}=\sqrt{2gh}\]          
                Similarly,           \[{{v}_{B}}=\sqrt{2gh}\]
                Therefore,\[{{v}_{A}}={{v}_{B}}\]
                NOTE In question, it is not mentioned that magnitude of thrown velocity of both balls are same which is assumed in solution.
