MCQ
A particle is projected from ground in vertical upward direction at $t = 0$, with initial velocity $48\, m/s$ and the distance travelled by particle in $5^{th}$ second is......$m$ $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$
  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $115$
  • $3.4$
  • D
    $2.8$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$3.4$
c
$5^{\text {th }}$ sec $\Rightarrow t=4 \rightarrow t=5$

$\mathrm{S}_{4 \rightarrow 8}=$ Displacement in last $0.8\, sec$ of upward journey

$\mathrm{S}=\mathrm{vt}-\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{y}} \mathrm{t}^{2}, \mathrm{v}=0$

Assuming upward direction to be positive $(+i v e)$

$a_y=-g$

$S_{4 \rightarrow 4.8}=\frac{1}{2} \times g \times(0.8)^{2}=5 \times 0.64$

$\begin{aligned} \mathrm{S}_{4.8 \rightarrow 5}=& \mathrm{ut}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{at}^{2} \\ &=0+\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times(0.2)^{2}=5 \times 0.04 \end{aligned}$

$\mathrm{S}_{4 \rightarrow 5}=5 \times 0.68=\frac{17}{5} \mathrm{m}$
