MCQ
A ball is thrown up vertically with a certain velocity so that, it reaches a maximum height $h$. Find the ratio of the times in which it is at height $\frac{ h }{3}$ while going up and coming down respectively.
  • A
    $\frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{\sqrt{2}+1}$
  • $\frac{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{3}+1}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{3}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}$
b
Max. Height $= h =\frac{ u ^{2}}{2 g }$

$\Rightarrow u =\sqrt{2 gh }$

$S =u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}$

$\frac{ h }{3}=\sqrt{2 gh } t +\frac{1}{2}(- g ) t ^{2}$

$\frac{ gt ^{2}}{2}-\sqrt{2 ght }+\frac{ h }{3}=0 \quad$ (Roots are $t _{1} \& t _{2}$ )

$\frac{t_{2}}{t_{1}}=\frac{\sqrt{2 g h}+\sqrt{2 g h-4 \times \frac{g}{2} \times \frac{h}{3}}}{\sqrt{2 g h}-\sqrt{2 g h-4 \times \frac{g}{2} \times \frac{h}{3}}}=\frac{\sqrt{2 g h}+\sqrt{\frac{4 g h}{3}}}{\sqrt{2 g h}-\sqrt{\frac{4 g h}{3}}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}$
