MCQ
The maximum height reached by a projectile is $64 \mathrm{~m}$. If the initial velocity is halved, the new maximum height of the projectile is_________.$\mathrm{m}$.
- A$11$
- B$14$
- C$15$
- ✓$16$
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
$16$
d
$\mathrm{H}_{\max }=\frac{\mathrm{u}^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{2 \mathrm{~g}}$
$\mathrm{H}_{\max }=\frac{\mathrm{u}^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{2 \mathrm{~g}}$
$\frac{\mathrm{H}_{1 \max }}{\mathrm{H}_{2 \max }}=\frac{\mathrm{u}_1^2}{\mathrm{u}_2^2}$
$\frac{64}{\mathrm{H}_{2 \max }}=\frac{\mathrm{u}^2}{(\mathrm{u} / 2)^2}$
$\mathrm{H}_{2 \max }=16 \mathrm{~m}$

Different points in earth are at slightly different distances from the sun and hence experience different forces due to gravitation. For a rigid body, we know that if various forces act at various points in it, the resultant motion is as if a net force acts on the $c.m. ($centre of mass$)$ causing translation and a net torque at the $c.m.$ causing rotation around an axis through the $c.m.$ For the earthsun system $($approximating the earth as a uniform density sphere$).$
