1) A juggler throws next ball when previous ball is at maximum
height. If he throws two ball per second then what is maximum
height attained by each ball ?
2) A juggler keeps on moving 4 balls in air in regular intervals of
[Link] one ball leaves his hand(speed=20m/s), find the
position of other three balls?
Answer:
So, the initial speed of the ball as it leaves the jugglers hand is 20m/s
u = 20m/s
v = 0 (Since the ball will reach 0 velocity, once it reaches the maximum
height possible and then will fall back again)
a = -g = -10m/s^2.
So, the time taken by ball to reach its maximum height
v = u+at
0 = 20-10t
t = 2 sec.
So, total time for which the ball will be in air will be 4 sec i.e. juggler will
touch the same ball after 4 sec only. Since, he is juggling 4 balls at
regular intervals, i.e. each of them is spaced at 1 sec distance interval.
Also, the maximum height to which the ball reaches
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
400 = 20s
s = 20m
hence, currently, when one ball leaves juggler's hand, other balls will be
at 10 (going up), 20 and 10 (coming down) m respectively.
The time taken by one ball to leave juggler's hand and come back is
given by t =. Now in this time the juggler has thrown another balls. So
the time for which one ball stayed in his hand is T =
A juggler has 4 balls and he throws them one after the other to a height
20m when he has just thrown a ball upward than height of other three
balls will be what?
Given are the datas,
u = 20m/s
v = 0 final velocity
a = -g = -10m/s^2.
So, the time taken by ball to reach its maximum height
0 = 20-10t
t = 2 sec.
So, total time will be 4 sec i.e. juggler will touch the same ball after 4
sec only. Since, he is juggling 4 balls at regular intervals, i.e. each of
them is spaced at 1 sec distance interval.
Also, the maximum height to which the ball reaches,
From Newton’s third law of eqn. we get,
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
s = 20m
A juggler has 4 balls and he throws them one after the other to a height
20m when he has just thrown a ball upward then height of other three
ballls?
1st is 15m, 2nd is 20m and 3rd is 20m.
A juggler throws next ball when previous ball is at maximum height. If
he throws two ball per second then what is maximum height attained
by each ball ?
Ans- 1.25m
If juggler throws n balls each second then-
Final Velocity = v = 0
Initial Velocity = u
Time = 1/n seconds
0 = u - g*1/n
g/n = u
Now applying third equation of motion,
v2 = u2 - 2gH
0 = g/n * g / n - 2gH
-(g/n)2 = - 2gH
g2/n2 = 2gH
g/n2 = 2H
H = g/2n2
Now
n=2
Then
H = g/8 = 10/8
H = 1.25 m
A clown in circus juggles with n balls using only one hand. He throws
each ball vertically upwards with the same speed at equal time
intervals. Denote acceleration of free fall by g.
(a) Find expressions for the speed of projection and height of the i th
ball above his hand when he throws the n th ball.
Let he uses n = 4 balls and when he throws the fourth ball, the distance
between the second and third ball is d = 50 cm.
(b) Where is the first ball, when the juggler throws the fourth ball?
(c) What is maximum height attained by each ball above the hands of
the juggler?
A juggler juggles 5 balls with two hands. Each ball rises 2
meters above her hands. Approximately how many times per
minute does each hand toss a ball?
Given that the ball rise 2 m above the hand, the distance (y) travelled by
the ball when he descends from the maximum height to reach the
juggler hand is 2 m. Also the free fall acceleration is 9.81 m/s2.
Substitute the given values in equation (1),
The time (t’) for which a ball stays in the air is given by multiplying t by 2
as:
The juggler has to juggles each ball once before time t’ so that he gets
ready to juggle the ball reaching him again.
A juggler keeps n balls going with one hand, so that at any instant, n-1
balls are in air and one ball is in his hand. If each ball arises to a height
of x meters, what is time that each ball stays in his hand?
