A ball is projected upwards from a height \(h\) above the surface of the earth with velocity \(v\). The time at which the ball strikes the ground is

  1. A \(\frac{v}{g}\left[1+\sqrt{\frac{2 g h}{v^2}}\right]\)
  2. B \(\frac{v}{g}\left[1-\sqrt{1+\frac{2 h}{g}}\right]\)
  3. C \(\frac{v}{g}\left[1+\sqrt{1+\frac{2 g h}{v^2}}\right]\)
  4. D \(\frac{v}{g}\left[1+\sqrt{v^2+\frac{2 g}{v^2}}\right]\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{v}{g}\left[1+\sqrt{1+\frac{2 g h}{v^2}}\right]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given situation is shown in the following figure. If time taken by the ball to reach at highest point \(A\) is \(t\), then \(0=v-g t \Rightarrow t=\frac{v}{g}\) Total time taken to reach the ball from point of projection to reach at point \(B\) is given as…
