2.Motion in Straight Line
medium
A ball is thrown vertically upwards from the ground $G$ with a speed $u$. It reaches a point $B$ at a height $h$ (lower than the maximum height) after time $t_1$. It returns to the ground after time $t_2$ from the instant it was at $B$ during the upward journey. Then $t_1t_2$ is equal to
A
$2h/g$
B
$h/g$
C
$h/2g$
D
$h/4g$
Solution
$\mathrm{t}=\mathrm{t}_{1}+\mathrm{t}_{2}=2 \mathrm{u} / \mathrm{g}$
$\mathrm{h}=\mathrm{ut}_{1}-\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{gt}_{1}^{2}$
$=\frac{g}{2}\left(t_{1}+t_{2}\right) t_{1}-\frac{1}{2} g t_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{2} g t_{1} t_{2}$
$\therefore \mathrm{t}_{1}{t}_{2}=\frac{2 \mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{g}}$
