2.Motion in Straight Line
hard
A body thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity $u$ reaches maximum height in $6$ seconds. The ratio of the distances travelled by the body in the first second and the seventh second is
A
$1:1$
B
$11:1$
C
$1:2$
D
$1:11$
Solution
(b) Time of ascent $ = \frac{u}{g} = 6\;\sec \Rightarrow u = 60\;m/s$
Distance in first second ${h_{{\rm{first}}}} = 60 – \frac{g}{2}(2 \times 1 – 1) = 55\;m$
Distance in seventh second will be equal to the distance in first second of vertical downward motion ${h_{{\rm{seventh}}}} = \frac{g}{2}(2 \times 1 – 1) = 5\;m$
$⇒$ ${h_{{\rm{first}}}}/{h_{{\rm{seventh}}}}$$ = 11:1$
