Some Simple Physics JEE Questions 1

A ball is dropped from a height of 20 m above the surface of water in a lake. The refractive index of water is 4/3. A fish inside the lake, directly under the ball, is looking at the ball. At an instant, when the ball is 12.8 m above the water surface, the fish sees the speed of ball as

let at any instant of time distance of bird from water level is 'y"

so Distance of image of bird from lake is = μ \mu . * y

now differentiate => V b a l l i m a g e { V }_{ { ball }_{ image } } .= μ \mu . V b a l l { V }_{ { ball }_{ } } .

V b a l l { V }_{ { ball }_{ } } .= 2 × 10 × ( 20 12.8 ) \sqrt { 2\times 10\times (20-12.8) } .

=> V b a l l { V }_{ { ball }_{ } } .=12

=> V b a l l i m a g e { V }_{ { ball }_{ image } } .=16

velocity of ball when it is 12.8m above water level: v 2 v^{2} = 2gh =>v =12m/s therefore velocity of ball as seen by fish = v/n(relative) =16m/s

fish will see the image of ball after reraction through water surface...

using

         n2/v - n1/u = n2-n1/R

R for plane surface is infinity & n2(refrative index of water) , n1(refractive index of air)

     4/3v - 1/u = 0

     v = 4u/3  ..........1

now differentiating eq 1 wrt t

(velocity of image)dv/dt = 4/3.(du/dt) (velocity of object)

now when ball has fallen 12.8m then its velocity is U..

so velocity of ball as seen by fish is (4/3) .U

    V = 4/3. (U) =4/3 (sqrt2g(H-h))                                    (change in height (H-h) = 7.2m)

                      =4*12/3=16m/s

Distance of ball seen by fish = actual distance * refractive index of observers medium

differentiate it , we get velocity of ball seen by fish = actual velocity * refractive index of observers medium Actual velocity= 2as= v^2 - u^2 S= 20-12.8=7.2 we get V = 12 now put in above equation 12*4/3=16
