JEE QUESTIONS AND DOUBTS IN KINEMATICS-2

1.. Two particles are thrown from a certain height along horizontal direction mutually opposite to each other with velocities v1 and v2.find the distance b/w the particles when their velocity vector becomes mutually perpendicular.

[ans=(v1+v2)/√v1v2/g ]

2. A body of mass m is thrown up with velocity u0. find u' the velocity with which the body strike the surface if air drag @ any instant is given by cu2 , where u is the instantaneous velocity of that instant and c is a positive constant.

[u' = u0/√1+(cu02/mg)

Choosing the conventional coordinate system, we have
v_{1x}(t) = v_1, v_{1y} = -gt which gives \tan \theta_1(t) = -\frac{gt}{v_1}

Similarly, \tan \theta_2(t) = \frac{gt}{v_2}

Since the vectors are perpendicular, we get \tan \theta_1(t)\tan \theta_2(t) = -1 \Rightarrow t = \frac{\sqrt{v_1v_2}}{g}

The vertical displacement is same for the particles and hence the distance between them is the same as the horizontal distance between them which is obviously (v_1+v_2)t = (v_1+v_2)\frac{\sqrt{v_1v_2}}{g}

yeah u r right Qwerty. thank you.

1st one is very easy...

so (v1 i + gt j) (v2 i + gt j) = 0 ( as 2 vectors r perpendicular)

so t =√v1 v2 /g
distance = √v1 v2 /g (v1 + v2)

are ha , dont confuse x with horizontal coordinate, i have taken it as vertical coordinate only

i didnt get wich is the surface?

any way

while going up , net force = - (mg+cu2) ( j )

and while going down net force = (cu2 - mg ) ( j )

now while going up ,

accn a = mg+ cu2m = - dudt= - ududx

so

mudumg+cu2 = -dx

i.e mclog(mg+cu2)= -x

where u changes from uo to u , and x changes from 0 to x

(x measured from lowest point )

so, - cx = mlog(mg+cu2mg+cuo2)

i m assuming that the surface is the one frm which the particle is thrown

while going down

accn a = mg-cu2m = +dudt= + ududx

mudumg-cu2 = dx

i.e
- mclog(mg-cu2) = x

where u changes from 0 to some u

and x changes from 0 to some x (measured from highest point )

so - mclog(mg-cu2mg) = x
so we got 2 eqns

- x = mclog(mg+cu2mg+cuo2) ........(1)

- mclog(mg-cu2mg) = x ...........(2)

in eqn 1 , put u = 0 , and x =xmax

in eqn 2 , u is the u required , and put x = xmax

and equate xmax in the 2 eqns

so mgmg+cuo2 = mg-cu2mg

m2g2 = m2g2 +cmg(uo2-u2) - c2uo2u2

so mg(uo2-u2)=cuo2u2, i.e mguo2=u2(cuo2+mg)

u2 = mguo2cuo2+mg

wats the ans given ?

AKHIL ·

for 2nd draw the FBD
write the corresponding eqns
only 2 forces r acting
W and air drag
find the acc
and hence the vel..
