A boy throws a ball with speed `u` in a well of depth `14 m` as shown in (Fig. 5.191). On bounce with the bottom of the well, the speed of the ball gets halved. What should be the minimum value of `u( "in" ms^-1)` such that the ball may be able to reach his hands again ? It is given that his hands are at `1 m` height from top of the well while throwing and catching. . |
Answer» Correct Answer - `30 m s^-2` Let `v` is the same with which ball collides withb bottom, then `v^2 = u^2 + 2g xx 15` …(i) Now ball rebounds with speed `v//2`. So `(v//2)^2/(2g) = 15 rarr ` to reach the hands of boy `rArr v^2 = 8g xx 15` …(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), `u = 30 ms^-1`. |
