JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 3rd September Morning Slot - No. 5)

A cricket ball of mass 0.15 kg is thrown vertically up by a bowling machine so that it rises to a maximum height of 20 m after leaving the machine. If the part pushing the ball applies a constant force F on the ball and moves horizontally a distance of 0.2 m while launching the ball, the value of F (in N) is (g = 10 ms–2) ____.
Answer
150

Explanation

Initial velocity, v = $$\sqrt {2gh} $$

= $$\sqrt {2 \times 10 \times 20} $$

= 20 m/s

Now work done by the machine,

WF = $$\Delta $$k

$$ \Rightarrow $$ F.d = $$\Delta $$k

$$ \Rightarrow $$ F = $${{\Delta k} \over d}$$

= $${{{1 \over 2} \times 0.15 \times 400 - 0} \over {0.2}}$$

= 150 N
