Question
Two bodies are thrown vertically upwards, with their initial velocities in the ratio $2: 3$. The ratio of maximum heights attained will be(a) $\sqrt{2}: \sqrt{3}$(b) $4: 9$(c) $2: 3$(d) Data is insufficient
Step 1
Step 1: We know that the maximum height reached by any particle thrown vertically upwards is given by $H_{max} = \frac{u^2}{2g}$, where $u$ is the initial velocity and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity. Show more…

A ball is thrown up with a certain velocity so that is reaches a height $h$. Find the ratio of the times in which it is at $h / 3$. (a) $\frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{\sqrt{2}+1}$ (b) $\frac{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}$ (c) $\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{3}+1}$ (d) $\frac{1}{3}$
Two bodies are thrown vertically upwards from walls of heights $2.2 \mathrm{~m}$ and $1.05 \mathrm{~m}$ respectively, with an initial velocity of $10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$. The ratio of their times of flight is $\left(\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}\right)$ (a) $\frac{22}{21}$ (b) $\frac{12}{11}$ (c) $\frac{44}{23}$ (d) $\frac{13}{11}$
