MCQ
A cricketer can throw a ball to maximum horizontal distance of $100\,m$ . With the same speed how much high above the ground can the cricketer throw the same ball ......... $m$
- ✓$50$
- B$100$
- C$150$
- D$200$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$50$
a
Let $u$ be the velocity of projection of the ball.
Let $u$ be the velocity of projection of the ball.
The ball will cover maximum horizontal
distance when angle of projection with
horizontal, $\theta=45^{\circ} .$ Then
$\mathrm{R}_{\max }=\frac{\mathrm{u}^{2}}{\mathrm{g}}$
Here, $\mathrm{R}_{\max }=100 \mathrm{m}$
$\therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{u}^{2}}{\mathrm{g}}=100 \mathrm{m}$
As $v^{2}-u^{2}=2 a s$
Here. $\mathrm{v}=0$ (At highest point velocity is zeno)
$a=-g, s=H$
$\therefore H=\frac{u^{2}}{2 g}=\frac{100}{2}=50 \mathrm{m} \quad(\mathrm{Using}(\mathrm{i}))$
