MCQ

In a circus, a performer throws an apple towards a hoop held at $45 \,m$ height by another performer standing on a high platform (see figure). The thrower aims for the hoop and throws the apple with a speed of $24 \,m / s$. At the exact moment that the thrower releases the apple, the other performer drops the hoop. The hoop falls straight down. At ............ $m$ height above the ground does the apple go through the hoop?

A
$21$
✓
$22$
C
$23$
D
$24$

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

$22$

b
(b)

Given, velocity of projection of apple, $v=24 \,m / s$

Distance between point of projection and hoop is given by

$A C=\sqrt{(25)^2+(45)^2}=\sqrt{2650} m$

So, time taken by the ball to the hoop,

$t=\frac{\sqrt{2650}}{24}$ $s$

The distance covered by hoop is

$s=\frac{1}{2} g t^2=\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times(\frac{\sqrt{2650}}{{24}})^2$

$=5 \times \frac{2650}{576}=\frac{13250}{576}$

$\therefore$ Height above the ground where apple go through the hoop is

$H=45-\frac{13250}{576}$

$=\frac {12670}{576}\simeq 22 \,m$

When a particle of mass $m$ moves on the $x$-axis in a potential of the form $V(x)=\mathrm{kx}^2$ it performs simple harmonic motion. The corresponding time period is proportional to $\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{k}}}$, as can be seen easily using dimensional analysis. However, the motion of a particle can be periodic even when its potential energy increases on both sides of $\mathrm{x}=0$ in a way different from $\mathrm{kx}^2$ and its total energy is such that the particle does not escape to infinity. Consider a particle of mass $\mathrm{m}$ moving on the $x$-axis. Its potential energy is $V(x)=\alpha x^4(\alpha>0)$ for $|x|$ near the origin and becomes a constant equal to $\mathrm{V}_0$ for $|x| \geq X_0$ (see figure). $Image$
