Numerical
A ball is thrown from ground at an angle $\theta$ with horizontal and with an initial speed $u_{0}$ . For the resulting projectile motion, the magnitude of average velocity of the ball up to the point when it hits the ground for the first time is $V_{1}$ . After hitting the ground, the ball rebounds at the same angle $\theta$ but with a reduced speed of $\frac{u_{0}}{\alpha}$ . Its motion continues for a long time as shown in Figure.
If the magnitude of average velocity of the ball for entire duration of motion is $0.8 V_{1}$ , the value of $\alpha$ is
If the magnitude of average velocity of the ball for entire duration of motion is $0.8 V_{1}$ , the value of $\alpha$ is
Correct Answer: 4.00
Explanation:
Average velocity $\langle v\rangle$ is given by
$\langle v \rangle = \frac {\Sigma R}{\Sigma T}$
$\Sigma R = \left(\frac {2 u _ {0} ^ {2} \sin \theta \cos \theta}{g}\right) \left(1 + \frac {1}{\alpha^ {2}} + \frac {1}{\alpha^ {4}} + \dots .\right)$
$\Sigma R = \left(\frac {2 u _ {0} ^ {2} \sin \theta \cos \theta}{g}\right) \left(\frac {1}{1 - \frac {1}{\alpha^ {2}}}\right)$
$\Rightarrow \Sigma T = \left(\frac {2 u _ {0} \sin \theta}{g}\right) \left(\frac {1}{1 - \frac {1}{\alpha}}\right)$
Since $\langle v\rangle = 0.8V_{1}$ , where $V_{1} = u_{0}\cos \theta$
$\Rightarrow 0. 8 V _ {1} = \frac {u _ {0} \cos \theta \left(\frac {1}{1 - \frac {1}{\alpha^ {2}}}\right)}{\frac {1}{1 - \frac {1}{\alpha}}}$
$\begin{array}{r l} \Rightarrow & \left(\frac {\alpha^ {2}}{\alpha^ {2} - 1}\right) \left(\frac {\alpha - 1}{\alpha}\right) = 0. 8 \\ \Rightarrow & \frac {\alpha}{\alpha + 1} = 0. 8 \\ \Rightarrow & 5 \alpha = 4 \alpha + 4 \\ \Rightarrow & \alpha = 4 \end{array}$
Net acceleration,
$a = \sqrt {\left(a _ {c}\right) ^ {2} + \left(a _ {t}\right) ^ {2}} = \sqrt {(7 . 2) ^ {2} + (1 2) ^ {2}} = 1 4 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2}$
Hence, the correct answer is (A).
$\langle v \rangle = \frac {\Sigma R}{\Sigma T}$
$\Sigma R = \left(\frac {2 u _ {0} ^ {2} \sin \theta \cos \theta}{g}\right) \left(1 + \frac {1}{\alpha^ {2}} + \frac {1}{\alpha^ {4}} + \dots .\right)$
$\Sigma R = \left(\frac {2 u _ {0} ^ {2} \sin \theta \cos \theta}{g}\right) \left(\frac {1}{1 - \frac {1}{\alpha^ {2}}}\right)$
$\Rightarrow \Sigma T = \left(\frac {2 u _ {0} \sin \theta}{g}\right) \left(\frac {1}{1 - \frac {1}{\alpha}}\right)$
Since $\langle v\rangle = 0.8V_{1}$ , where $V_{1} = u_{0}\cos \theta$
$\Rightarrow 0. 8 V _ {1} = \frac {u _ {0} \cos \theta \left(\frac {1}{1 - \frac {1}{\alpha^ {2}}}\right)}{\frac {1}{1 - \frac {1}{\alpha}}}$
$\begin{array}{r l} \Rightarrow & \left(\frac {\alpha^ {2}}{\alpha^ {2} - 1}\right) \left(\frac {\alpha - 1}{\alpha}\right) = 0. 8 \\ \Rightarrow & \frac {\alpha}{\alpha + 1} = 0. 8 \\ \Rightarrow & 5 \alpha = 4 \alpha + 4 \\ \Rightarrow & \alpha = 4 \end{array}$
Net acceleration,
$a = \sqrt {\left(a _ {c}\right) ^ {2} + \left(a _ {t}\right) ^ {2}} = \sqrt {(7 . 2) ^ {2} + (1 2) ^ {2}} = 1 4 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2}$
Hence, the correct answer is (A).

Numerical
A ball is projected from the ground at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal surface. It reaches a maximum height of 120 m and returns to the ground. Upon hitting the ground for the first time, it loses half of its kinetic energy. Immediately after the bounce, the velocity of the ball makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal surface. The maximum height it reaches after the bounce, in metres, is ____.
Correct Answer: 30
Explanation:
$H = \frac{u^2\sin^2(45^\circ)}{2g} = 120\mathrm{m}$
$\Rightarrow \frac {u ^ {2}}{4 g} = 1 2 0 \mathrm{m}$
If speed is v after the first collision, then speed should remain $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ times, because kinetic energy has reduced to half.
$\begin{array}{r l} \Rightarrow & v = \frac {u}{\sqrt {2}} \\ \Rightarrow & h _ {\max} = \frac {v ^ {2} \sin^ {2} (3 0 ^ {\circ})}{2 g} \\ \Rightarrow & h _ {\max} = \frac {\left(\frac {u}{\sqrt {2}}\right) ^ {2} \sin^ {2} 3 0 ^ {\circ}}{2 g} \\ \Rightarrow & h _ {\max} = \left(\frac {u ^ {2} / 4 g}{4}\right) = \frac {1 2 0}{4} \\ \Rightarrow & h _ {\max} = 3 0 \mathrm{m} \end{array}$
$\Rightarrow \frac {u ^ {2}}{4 g} = 1 2 0 \mathrm{m}$
If speed is v after the first collision, then speed should remain $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ times, because kinetic energy has reduced to half.
$\begin{array}{r l} \Rightarrow & v = \frac {u}{\sqrt {2}} \\ \Rightarrow & h _ {\max} = \frac {v ^ {2} \sin^ {2} (3 0 ^ {\circ})}{2 g} \\ \Rightarrow & h _ {\max} = \frac {\left(\frac {u}{\sqrt {2}}\right) ^ {2} \sin^ {2} 3 0 ^ {\circ}}{2 g} \\ \Rightarrow & h _ {\max} = \left(\frac {u ^ {2} / 4 g}{4}\right) = \frac {1 2 0}{4} \\ \Rightarrow & h _ {\max} = 3 0 \mathrm{m} \end{array}$

A train is moving along a straight line with a constant acceleration $a$ . A boy standing in the train throws a ball forward with a speed of $10 \, \text{ms}^{-1}$ , at an angle of $60^\circ$ to the horizontal. The boy has to move forward by $1.15 \, \text{m}$ inside the train to catch the ball back at the initial height. The acceleration of the train, in $\text{ms}^{-2}$ , is
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
$T = \frac{2u_y}{g} = \frac{2\times 10\sin(60^\circ)}{g} = \sqrt{3}s$
Since $R = 1.15 \mathrm{~m}$ and
$\begin{array}{r l} & R = u _ {x} T - \frac {1}{2} a _ {x} T ^ {2} \\ \Rightarrow & 1. 1 5 = 1 0 \cos (6 0 ^ {\circ}) \sqrt {3} - \frac {1}{2} a (\sqrt {3}) ^ {2} \\ \Rightarrow & a = 5 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2} \end{array}$
Since $R = 1.15 \mathrm{~m}$ and
$\begin{array}{r l} & R = u _ {x} T - \frac {1}{2} a _ {x} T ^ {2} \\ \Rightarrow & 1. 1 5 = 1 0 \cos (6 0 ^ {\circ}) \sqrt {3} - \frac {1}{2} a (\sqrt {3}) ^ {2} \\ \Rightarrow & a = 5 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2} \end{array}$
