JEE Advanced · Physics · 4. Motion in 2D

A small block is connected to one end of a massless spring of un-stretched length \(4.9 \mathrm{~m}\). The other end of the spring (see the figure) is fixed. The system lies on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block is stretched by \(0.2 \mathrm{~m}\) and released from rest at \(t=0\). It then executes simple harmonic motion with angular frequency \(\omega=\pi / 3 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\). Simultaneously at \(t=0\), a small pebble is projected with speed \(v\) form point \(P\) at an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) as shown in the figure. Point \(P\) is at a horizontal distance of \(10 \mathrm{~m}\) from \(O\). If the pebble hits the block at \(t=1 \mathrm{~s}\), the value of \(v\) is (take \(g\) \(=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\) )

  1. A \(\sqrt{50} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{51} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{52} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{53} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\sqrt{50} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Time of flight of projectile,

\(T=\frac{2 V \sin \theta}{g}\)

\(\therefore \quad 1=\frac{2 V \sin 45^{\circ}}{g} \quad \therefore \quad V=\sqrt{50} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)

Hence pebble is projected with a speed \(V=\sqrt{50} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
