MCQ
A particle $A$ is projected vertically upwards. Another identical particle $B$ is projected at an angle of $45^o $ . Both reach the same height. The ratio of the initial kinetic energy of $A$ to that of $B$ is
  • $1:2$
  • B
    $2:1$
  • C
    $1:\sqrt 2$
  • D
    $\sqrt 2:1$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$1:2$
a
Let the speed of $A$ and $B$ are $v_{1}$ and $v_{2}$,

Given, their maximum heights are equal$:$

$\frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2 g}=\frac{v_{2}^{2} \sin ^{2} 45}{2 g}$

$\Rightarrow v_{1}^{2}=\frac{v_{2}^{2}}{2}$

$\frac{K_{1}}{K_{2}}=\frac{\frac{1}{2} m v_{1}^{2}}{\frac{1}{2} m v_{2}^{2}}=\frac{v_{1}^{2}}{v_{2}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}$

Two bottles $A$ and $B$ have radii $R_{A}$ and $R_{B}$ and heights $h_{A}$ and $h_{B}$ respectively, with $R_{B}=2 R_{A}$ and $h_{B}=2 h_{A}$. These are filled with hot water at $60^{\circ} C$. Consider that heat loss for the bottles takes place only from side surfaces. If the time, the water takes to cool down to $50^{\circ} C$ is $t_{A}$ and $t_{B}$ for bottles $A$ and $B$, respectively. Then, $t_{A}$ and $t_{B}$ are best related as
