Question

A boy is standing inside a train moving with a constant velocity of magnitude 10 m/s. He throws a ball vertically up with a speed of 5 m/s relative to the train. Find the radius of curvature of the path of the ball just at the time of projection. (Take g=10m/s2)

Solution

The correct option is A 14 m

Initial velocity of the ball in x-direction =10 m/s
And initial velocity of the ball in y-direction =5 m/s
θ=tan1(vyvx)tanθ=12cosθ=25Since centripetal acceleration,ac=v2r(where r is the radius of curvature)r=v2gcosθ=52+10210×25
=125520m=13.914 m
