Question
The figure shows two positions A and B at the same height h above the ground. If the maximum height of the projectile is H, then determine the time t elapsed between the positions A and B in terms of H.
The Figure Shows Two Positions A And B At The Same Height H ...
Options:
A .  t = √8hg
B .  t = √h8g
C .  t = √8g(H−h)
D .  t = √(H−h)8g
Answer: Option C
:
C
The Figure Shows Two Positions A And B At The Same Height H ...
Time of flight for this part of motion (between points A and B, both at height h) assuming speed of projection to be v and angle of projection to be α
T=2vsinαg ---------(I)
Now we have to eliminate v & α as these variables we assumed.
Hmmmmm..........How do we do that, okay what else is given?
Yes, the maximum height i.e. (Hh).
(Hh) = v2sin2α2g ----------(II)
Thank goodness!
Now from equation (I) vsinα = Tg2
Equation (II) (Hh) = T2g24(2g)
(Hh) = gT28
T = 8(Hh)g
