RAJASTHAN PMT Rajasthan - PMT Solved Paper-2007

  • question_answer
    The height \[y\] and the distance \[x\] along the horizontal plane of a projectile on a certain planet (with no surrounding atmosphere) are given by y = (8t - 5t) metre and x =- 6t metre where r is in seconds. The velocity of projection is

    A)  8 m/s

    B)  6 m/s

    C)  10 m/s   

    D)  Not obtained from the data

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Velocity of particle,                 \[v=\]rate of change of displacement \[ie,\]    \[v=\frac{dr}{dt}\] Given    \[x=6t\]                                                                ... (i) and        \[y=8t-5{{t}^{2}}\]                                           ... (ii) Differentiating Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get                 \[{{v}_{x}}=\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}(6t)=6\,\,m/s\] and        \[{{v}_{y}}=\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}(8t-5{{t}^{2}})\]                                 \[=(8-10)\,\,m/s\] At           \[t=0,\,\,{{v}_{x/t=0}}=6\,\,m/s\] and                   \[{{v}_{y/t=0}}=8\,\,m/s\] Hence, velocity of projection at time \[t=0\] is                 \[v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}=\sqrt{{{(6)}^{2}}+{{(8)}^{2}}}\]                    \[=\sqrt{36+64}=\sqrt{100}=10\,\,m/s\]
