A particle of massmis dropped from a heighth above the ground. At the same time another particle of mass 2m is thrown vertically upwards from the ground with a speed ofsqrt(gh) . If they collide head-on completely inelastically, the time taken for the combined mass to reach the ground, in units of sqrt(h/g) is :

Answer»

`(sqrt40-2)/6`
`(sqrt30-3)/7`
`(sqrt20-2)/5`
`sqrt(3/2)`

Solution :
Particles will collide after time `t_0 = (h)/(sqrt(gh)) `
at collision ,`v_A = "GT"_0 ""v_B = u_B - "gt"_0`
`implies v_A = - gsqrt(h//g), v_B = 0 `
Time TAKEN by combined mass to REACH the ground
Time `= ((sqrt(40)-2)/(6)) sqrt(h//g)`
