Question:

A ball is released from a height h. If t1 and t2 be the time required to complete first half and second half of the distance respectively. Then, choose the correct relation between t1 and t2..

Updated On: Mar 19, 2025
  • t1=(√2)t2
  • t1=(√2-1)t2
  • t2=(√2+1)t1
  • t2=(√2-1)t1

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

\(t_1=\frac{\sqrt2⋅\frac{H}{2}}{g}=\frac{\sqrt{H}}{g}\)
\(t_2=\frac{\sqrt{2H}}{g}−t_1\)
\(⇒t_2=\frac{\sqrt{2H}}{g}−\frac{\sqrt{H}}{g}\)
\(⇒t2=√Hg{√2−1}\)
\(⇒t2=(√2−1)t1\)
So, the correct option is (D): t2 =(√2−1)t1

Shortest Distance Between Two Parallel Lines

Formula to find distance between two parallel line:

Consider two parallel lines are shown in the following form :

\(y = mx + c_1\) …(i)

\(y = mx + c_2\) ….(ii)

Here, m = slope of line

Then, the formula for shortest distance can be written as given below:

\(d= \frac{|c_2-c_1|}{\sqrt{1+m^2}}\)

If the equations of two parallel lines are demonstrated in the following way :

\(ax + by + d_1 = 0\)

\(ax + by + d_2 = 0\)

then there is a little change in the formula.

\(d= \frac{|d_2-d_1|}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}\)
