Q. A ball thrown upward from the top of tower with speed V reaches the ground in T1 second. If this ball is thrown downward from the top of the same tower with speed V it reaches the ground in T2 second. In what time the ball shall reach the ground if it is allowed to fall freely under gravity from top of the tower?
Answers
Answer:
Solution :-
As it is given that the speed is V. So, By using second equation of kinematics
s = ut + 1/2 at²
But here,
a = g
u = V
s = S
S = Vt₂ + 1/2 × g × (T2)²
Since, the ball is thrown upward. So, time taken when they will come at same point = T1 - T2
Time taken by T1 for reaching top
T1/2
Time taken by T2 for reaching top
T2/2
Time taken to come at top including both upward and downward\
T1/2 - T2/2
T1 - T2/2
As when it come at top. Then, its velocity will become 0
S = Vt₂ + 1/2 × g × (T2)²
0 = V - g × (T1/2- T2/2)
0 = V - g × (T1 - T2/2)
0 + V = g(T1 - T2/2)
V = g(T1 - T2/2)
Now
S = T2g(T1 - T2/2) + 1/2 × g × T2²
S = T2g(T1 - T2/2) + g/2 × T2²
Taking g and T2 as common
S = g × T1 × T2/2 (1)
S = g × T²/2
S = 1/2 × g × T²
S = 1/2 gT² (2)
On comparing both
g × T1 × T2/2 = 1/2 × gT²
g × T²/2 = 1/2 × gT²
T²/2 = 1/2 × T²
T² = T²
T = √(T1T2)
