A particle of mass 2 m is projected at an angle of 45° with horizontal with a velocity of20/2 m/s. After 1 s explosion takes place and the particle is broken into two equal pieces. As aresult of explosion one part comes to rest. Find the maximum height attained by the other part.Take 2810m/s

Answer»

The answer for this question is35 m.

Initially the velocity is 20root(2)ms-1& the angle is 45. Vertical component of velocity = 20ms-1

After 1 s, It will cover a distance of s = ut+1/2at2= (20)(1)+1/2(-10)(1)2= 20 - 5 = 15m and its vertical velocity comp. will be reduced to 10ms-1.

Soon After it s mass gets reduced to m from 2m due to reaking so according to the law of conser. of center of mass, it velocitys vertical comp. will be doubled. =10ms-1.*2 =20ms-1

Now for coming to rest it has to cover diatnce v2= u2-2gs=> 400/20=s = 20m

So the total height achieved by the the ball is 20+15 = 35 m
