Suggest a suitable physical situation for the following $v-t$ graph.
(N/A) In the given $v-t$ graph,the sign of velocity changes periodically,and its magnitude decreases with the passage of time.
This indicates that the object is undergoing motion with constant acceleration (due to gravity) but loses a fraction of its velocity upon each collision.
$A$ suitable physical situation for this graph is a ball dropped from a height onto a hard floor.
When the ball strikes the floor,it rebounds with a velocity smaller than the velocity with which it struck the floor,due to energy loss during the collision.
This process repeats with each subsequent bounce,leading to a decrease in the peak velocity and the time interval between bounces,until the ball eventually comes to rest.

View Solution$A$ body is projected vertically upwards with a velocity of $10\,m/s.$ It reaches the maximum vertical height $h$ in time $t.$ In $\frac{t}{2}$,the height covered is
Medium
View Solution$Assertion$: If a body is thrown upwards,the distance covered by it in the last second of upward motion is about $5 \ m$ irrespective of its initial speed.
$Reason$: The distance covered in the last second of upward motion is equal to that covered in the first second of downward motion when the particle is dropped.

View Solution$Assertion$ : Two balls of different masses are thrown vertically upward with the same speed. They will pass through their point of projection in the downward direction with the same speed.
$Reason$ : The maximum height and downward velocity attained at the point of projection are independent of the mass of the ball.
$Reason$ : The maximum height and downward velocity attained at the point of projection are independent of the mass of the ball.
