A body falls from hieight H and travel 9h/25 in last second find height |
|
Answer» Let's FIND the start velocity of the last second journey : time t = 1 sec, distance covered s = 9h/25 m Using the equation : s = ut + 0.5gt^2 9h/25 = u(1) + 0.5*g*(1)^2 u = 9h/25 - g/2 This initial velocity u of the last second is the final velocity v of the journey prior to last sec. For prior journey : v = 9h/25 - g/2 The start of this prior journey began with u = 0. Our aim is now to find how MUCH distance s’ covered here - v^2 = u^2 + 2gs’ (9h/25 - g/2)^2 = 0 + 2gs’ s' = (9h/25 - g/2)^2 / 2g The total height of fall h is given by s' + 9h/25 h = s' + 9h/25 h= ((9h/25 + g/2)^2)/2g + 9h/25 This is a quadratic equation in h/g. Let h/g = y, then (9y/25)^2 - 41y/25 + 1/4 = 0 Solving this quadratic equation GIVES two values y1 = 25/2 and y2 = 25/162 (Both valid) Resubstitute y = h/g h/g = 25/2 and 25/162 h = 25g/2 and 25g/162 This two HEIGHTS satisfy the condition that in the last second of their respective falls covers 9/25th fraction of their total heights. mark brainliest |
