Question

A juggler throws balls into air. He throws one whenever the previous one is at its highest point. How high do the balls rise if the throws n balls each sec? Acceleration due to gravity is g.

Solution

Correct option is

 

As the juggler is throwing n balls each second and 2nd when the first is at its highest point, so the time taken by one ball to reach the highest point,

                   t = (1/n)s

and as at highest point v = 0, from 1st equation of motion,

                   0 = u – (g)(1/n),     i.e.,    u = (g/n)           …(1)

Now from 3rd equation of motion, i.,   v2 = u2 + 2as,

                   0 = u2 – 2gh,      i.e.,    h = (u2/2g)
