Question Number 15407 by Tinkutara last updated on 10/Jun/17

A ball is thrown vertically upward  with velocity 20 m/s from a rail road  car moving with a velocity 5 m/s  horizontally. A person standing on the  ground observes its motion as projectile.  Find maximum height attained by the  ball if point of projection is at a height  3 m from the ground.

y=3+20t−(1/2)×10t^2 =3+20t−5t^2   =23−5(t^2 −4t+4)=23−5(t−2)^2 ≤23  ⇒max. height =23 m

$$\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{3}+\mathrm{20t}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}×\mathrm{10t}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{3}+\mathrm{20t}−\mathrm{5t}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{23}−\mathrm{5}\left(\mathrm{t}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4t}+\mathrm{4}\right)=\mathrm{23}−\mathrm{5}\left(\mathrm{t}−\mathrm{2}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \leqslant\mathrm{23} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{max}.\:\mathrm{height}\:=\mathrm{23}\:\mathrm{m} \\ $$
