MCQ
A helicopter reises from rest on the ground vertically upwards with a constant acceleration $g.$ A food packet is dropped from the helicopter when it is a height $h$. The time taken by the packet to reach the ground is close to $[ g$ is the acceleration due to gravity]
  • A
    $t =\sqrt{\frac{2 h }{3 g }}$
  • B
    $t=1.8 \sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}$
  • $t=3.4 \sqrt{\left(\frac{h}{g}\right)}$
  • D
    $t=\frac{2}{3} \sqrt{\left(\frac{h}{g}\right)}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$t=3.4 \sqrt{\left(\frac{h}{g}\right)}$
c
$t_{0}=\sqrt{\frac{2 h}{g}}$

$\Rightarrow \quad u=\sqrt{\frac{2 h}{g}} \times g=\sqrt{2 g h}$

$\therefore \quad t_{1}=$time to reach top $=\frac{u}{g}=\sqrt{\frac{2 h}{g}}$

$\therefore \quad H=h+h^{\prime}=2 h$

$t_{2}=$ time of fall $=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times(2 h)}{g}}$

$\quad=2 \sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}$

Total time $=t_{1}+t_{2}$

$\quad=(2+\sqrt{2}) \sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}$

$\quad=3.4 \sqrt{\frac{h}{g}}$

A ball is thrown from ground at an angle $\theta$ with horizontal and with an initial speed $u_0$.

After hitting the ground, ball rebounds at the same angle $\theta$ but with a reduced speed of $u_0 / \alpha$. Its motion continues for a long time as shown in figure. If the magnitude of average velocity of the ball for entire duration of motion is $0.8 V _1$, the value of $\alpha$ is. . . . . .
