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

  • question_answer
    A body is projected up with a speed \['u'\] and the time taken by it is \[T\] to reach the maximum height \[H\]. Pick out the correct statement                                  [EAMCET (Engg.) 1995]

    A)             It reaches \[H/2\] in \[T/2\] sec

    B)             It acquires velocity \[u/2\] in \[T/2\sec \]

    C)             Its velocity is \[u/2\] at \[H/2\]

    D)             Same velocity at \[2T\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    At maximum height velocity \[v=0\] We know that \[v=u+at\], hence \[0=u-gT\Rightarrow u=gT\] When \[v=\frac{u}{2}\], then \[\frac{u}{2}=u-gt\Rightarrow gt=\frac{u}{2}\Rightarrow gt=\frac{gT}{2}\Rightarrow t=\frac{T}{2}\] Hence at \[t=\frac{T}{2}\], it acquires velocity \[\frac{u}{2}\]
