    Two particles are thrown from top of a tower from same point in opposite directions as shown below.
    Their velocities are perpendicular after a time interval of

    A) \[\sqrt{3}s\]

    B) \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}s\]

    C) \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{5}s\]

    D) \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{7}s\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Velocities of the particle after time (seconds is
    \[{{{v}'}_{1}}={{v}_{1}}+g{{t}_{1}}\]
    \[{{{v}'}_{2}}={{v}_{2}}+g{{t}_{2}}\]
    \[{{{v}'}_{1}}\bot {{{v}'}_{2}}={{{v}'}_{1}}.{{{v}'}_{2}}=0\]
    As, \[{{\upsilon }_{1}}\] and \[{{\upsilon }_{2}}\] are in opposite directions
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,{{v}_{1}}.{{v}_{2}}=-{{v}_{1}}{{v}_{2}}\]
    \[\left( {{{{v}'}}_{1}}+g{{{{t}'}}_{1}} \right).\left( {{{{v}'}}_{2}}+g{{t}_{2}} \right)=0\]\[\Rightarrow -{{\upsilon }_{1}}{{\upsilon }_{2}}+{{g}^{2}}{{t}^{2}}=0\]\[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,t=\frac{\sqrt{{{\upsilon }_{1}}{{\upsilon }_{2}}}}{g}=\frac{\sqrt{4\times 3}}{10}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{5}\]
