    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 height of:

    A)  200 m

    B)  16 am

    C)  80 m

    D)  40 m

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Initial height of the body \[{{h}_{1}}=20m\] Initial mass of the first body \[{{m}_{1}}=m\] Final mass of the body \[{{m}_{2}}=2m\] 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 \[{{h}_{2}}=4h=4\times 20=80m\]
