Question

A juggler throws balls vertically upwards with same initial velocity in air. When the first ball reaches its highest position, he throws the next ball. Assuming the juggler throws n balls per second, the maximum height the balls can reach is

• A. g/2n
• B. g/n
• C. 2gn
• D. g/2n2

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

g/2n2

Answer 2

$t=\frac{u}{g}=\frac{1}{n}$
Then,
u=$\frac{g}{n}$
Hmax=$\frac{u^2}{2g}=\frac{g}{2n^2}$
So, the correct option is (D): g/2n2
