प्रश्न
A ball is thrown from a roof top at an angle of 45° above the horizontal. It hits the ground a few seconds later. At what point during its motion, does the ball have
- greatest speed.
- smallest speed.
- greatest acceleration?
Explain
उत्तर
In this problem total mechanical energy of the ball is conserved. As the ball is projected from point O and covers the path OABC.
At point A it has both kinetic and potential energy.
But at point C it has only kinetic energy, (keeping the ground as a reference where PE is zero.)
- At point B, it will gain the same speed as u and after that speed increases and will be maximum just before reaching C.
- During the upward journey from O to A speed decreases and the smallest speed attained by it is at the highest point, i.e., at point A.
- Acceleration is always constant throughout the journey and is vertically downward equal to g.
