A ball is projected upwards from a height \hat{h} above the surface of the earth with velocity \vec{v} . The time at which the ball strikes the ground is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Since direction of v is opposite to the direction of g and h so from equation of motion
\(h = -Vt + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}\)
g t^{2} - 2 v t + 2 l = 0
\(\Rightarrow t = \frac{-2v \pm \sqrt{4v^{2} + 8gh}}{2g}\)
\(t = \frac{v}{g} \cdot \left| 1 + \sqrt{1 + \frac{2gh}{v^{2}}} \right|\)
