A particle of mass 2mis dropped from a height 80 m above the ground. At the same time another particle of mass m is thrown vertically upwards from the ground with a speed of 40 m/s. If they collide head-on completely inelastically, the time taken for the combined mass to reach the ground, in units of second is:

Answer»

`((sqrt(112) - 2)/(3))`
`((sqrt(80) - 2)/(3))`
`((sqrt(105) - 2)/(5))`
`((sqrt(112) + 2)/(5))`

Solution :Particles will collide after time `t_(0) = (80)/(40) = 2sec.`
at COLLISION , `v_(A) = 20v_(B = -20`
Velocity of combined mass = `(2m xx 20 - m xx 20)/(2m + m) = (20)/(3) m//s`
Time taken by combined mass to REACH the ground
Time = `((sqrt(112) - 2)/(3))`SEC.
