A body is thrown vertically up with the velocity of 100m/s and another one is thrown 4sec after the first one how long after the first one is throw n will they meet (g =10m/s)

Answer»

Given:

A body is THROWN vertically up with the velocity of 100m/s and another one is thrown 4sec after the first one with same velocity.

To find:

After how much time does the bodies meet ?

Calculation:

  • 1st body reaches a POSITION after (t+4)sec.

  • 2ND body reaches the same position after being thrown after 4 sec, so it's time is t sec.

For 1st body:

\therefore \: h = u(t + 4)  -   \dfrac{1}{2} g {(t + 4)}^{2} . \: . \: . \: .(1)

For 2nd body:

\therefore \: h =  ut  -  \dfrac{1}{2} g {t}^{2}  \: . \: . \: . \: .(2)

EQUATING the two EQUATIONS:

\implies \: u(t + 4) -  \dfrac{1}{2} g {(t + 4)}^{2}  = ut -  \dfrac{1}{2} g {t}^{2}

\implies \: 4u  -  \dfrac{1}{2} g {(t + 4)}^{2}  =  -  \dfrac{1}{2} g {t}^{2}

\implies \:  \dfrac{8u}{g}  =  {(t + 4)}^{2}  -  {t}^{2}

\implies \:  \dfrac{8u}{g}  = 8t + 16

\implies \:   8t + 16 =  \dfrac{8 \times 100}{10}

\implies \:   8t + 16 =  80

\implies \:   8t  = 64

\implies \:   t  = 8 \: sec

So, bodies meet after (8 + 4) = 12 sec.
