Q125 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2021 (05 Aug Shift 1) · Physics

Two bodies were thrown simultaneously from the origin: one straight up and the other, at an angle, 60° to the vertical. The initial velocity of each body is equal to 10 m s-1 Neglecting the air resistance, the distance between the two bodies after t=2 s is ( Use g=10 m s-2)

  • Correct answer
    A
    20 m
  • B
    202 m
  • C
    53 m
  • D
    30 m

Solution

Figure

In the above case first find out the relative speed of the particle, here, 

v→A=v0j^ and v→B=v0cosθi^+v0sinθj^, 
⇒v→AB=v0j^-v0cosθi^-v0sinθj^

and the relative acceleration, 
a→AB=-gj^--gj^=0

so relative displacement, 
s→rel=v→ABt+0=v0j^-v0cosθi^-v0sinθj^t⇒s→rel=v0t2-2sinθ=10×22-2sin30°⇒s→rel=10×2=20 m

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
