A body is thrown vertically upward with velocity u. The ratio of times at which it is at particular height h is 1:2. What is the maximum height reached by body above point of projection?

Answer»

Le H is the maximum height. LET h is the height above the ground at which both P.E and K.E are equal


∴ T e at the point p = K.E + P.E


⇒ K.E = mgH - mgh = mg [H - h]


∴ P.E / K.E = mgh/mg[HH]


As K.E = P.E


∴ h / H - h = 1, H – h = 2h …(1)


When the body is projected upwards with VELOCITY u it reaches a maximum height H


∴ H = u2/ 2g


When the body is projected vertically upwards with double the velocity then it reaches a maximum height H1


∴ H = (2u)2/2g = 4u2/2g = 4H………..(2)


∴ The ratio of P.E and K.E at the same point ‘P’ = P.E / K.E = mgh/mg[H1-h]


∴ P.E / K.E = h/4[2h]-h


= 1/7


Or, 1:7




Hope this helps you buddy :)
