Question 11. A stone is projected from a horizontal plane. It attains maximum height ′H′ & strikes a stationary smooth wall & falls on the ground vertically below the maximum height. Assume the collision to be elastic, the height of the point on the wall where ball will strike is
(Elastic collision means that after colliding on a plane the perpendicular component of the velocity before collision gets reversed after the collision. Here vx is normal to plane)

Answer: Option C. -> 3H4
:
C
The ball will cover the same distance as only velocity's direction is changed magnitude is the same. So the same distance will be covered in opposite direction.
Now from the figure it's clear,
2x = R2
⇒ x = R4
⇒
So it means I have to find the height of the ball when it has travelled 3R4 along the x-axis.
Method I
Assume initial speed of projection is u and angle θ
⇒ ucosθt = 3R4
⇒ t = 3R4ucosθ ..........(1)
h = usinθt−12gt2 ..........(2)
substituting (I) in (II) we get
h = usinθ×3R4ucosθ−12g9R216u2cos2θ
we know Rin this case is 2u2sinθcosθg
⇒ h = usinθX3X2u2sinθcosθ24ucosθg−12g9×4u42sin2θcos2θg2g×164u2cos2θ
h = 3u2sin2θ2g−9u2sin2θ8g
h = u2sin2θ2g[3−94]
we know u2sin2θ2g = H
⇒ h = 34H.
Method II
Equation of trajectory
y = xtanθ−t2tanθR
y = h
x = 3R4
⇒ h=3R4tanθ−9R2R16tanθR
h=3×2×u2sinθcosθsinθ24×gcosθ−9×2u2sinθcosθsinθ816×u2×gcosθ
h = 3u2sin2θ2g−9u2sin2θ8g
h=u2sin2θ2g(3−94)
h = 34H.

Answer: Option D. -> 20 √2 ms−1

D
At point N angle of projection of the body will be 45∘. Let velocity of projection at this point is v. If the body just manages to cross the well then
Range = Diameter of well
v2sin2θg=40[Asθ=45∘]v2=400⇒v=20m/s
But we have to calculate the velocity (u) of the body at point M.
For motion along the inclined plane (from M to N)
Final velocity (v) = 20 m/s, acceleration (a) = −gsinα=−gsin45∘, distance of inclined plane (s) = 20√2m
(20)2=u2−2g√2.20√2[Usingv2=u2+2as]u2=202+400⇒u=20√2m/s.

Since horizontal component of velocity remain always constant therefore only vertical component of velocity changes.
Initially vertical component usinθ
Finally it becomes zero. So change in velocity =usinθ
