MCQ
A projectile is thrown with velocity $u$ making angle $\theta$ with vertical. It just crosses the tops of two poles each of height $h$ after $1\,s$ and $3\,s$, respectively. The maximum height of projectile is ............ $m$
  • A
    $9.8$
  • $19.6$
  • C
    $39.2$
  • D
    $4.9$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$19.6$
b
$h =u \cos \theta t_1-\frac{1}{2} g t_1^2 \ldots(1)$

$h =u \cos \theta t_2-\frac{1}{2} g t_2^2 \ldots(2)$

Equating (1) and (2) and substituting the value of $t_1$ and $t_2$ we get

$u \cos \theta=19.6 \;ms ^{-1}$

Maximum height $=\frac{u^2 \cos ^2 \theta}{2 g}=19.6 \;m$
