collision!!

A massive vertical wall is approaching a man at a speed u. When it is at a distance of 10 m, the man throws a ball with speed 10 m/s at an angle of 37° which after completely elastic rebound reaches back directly into his hands. find the velocity u of the wall.
1. 10/3 m/s
2. 15/3 m/s
3. 13/3 m/s
4. none

indeed u were correct as i hav already said in school......

So the answer is 25/3 indeed . Now someone say that my REASONING WAS WRONG ......... ?????

here we hav taken half of time of flight of the proj bec wen proj has travelled R/2 DIST IN HORIZONTAL then it is at its max height.....and time taken by ball to reach max height is half of time of flight

same as the answer in my post

ans is 25/3...which i m getting if we take g=9.8

Is the answer "none" ????

see this is the working which i hv worked out
the horizontal component of vel is 8 and le tthe vel of the wall be u

therefrore time taken for collision is 10/8+u (sinple rel motion concept0
now
during this time distance covered by the ball is 8*(10/8+u)=80/10+u

nw after collision its vertical component of vel will remain unchanged and its horizonatal component will beomce 8+u

since the ball again reaches the man thereofre the smae distance will be covered or again the distance covered will be 80/10+u

therefore the time taken to complete this will be......
80/10+u)/8+u

since 8+u is the new vel

this is for the horizonatal motion
now for the vertical component
at the time of collision the vertical distance will be covered y

and the vel on the y direction can be easily found out
now after time t vel in y direction will remain constant and now
since it reaches the same pnt
vertical distance covered in the y axis will be
-y
or
-y=ut-5t^2

where t is the time which we calculated and u os the vel before collision

@Anirudh....the ball finally comes back to the man......when the wall has moved a dist. in time t secs. the ball hits it perpendicularly at that instant...otherwise how can it finally reach the man after elastic collision ? It'd have jumped to some other angle....what do u say abt. it ??

Aveek here at the time of collision the velocities of the ball w.r.t to ground won't be horizontal . it will have some vertical component .

thus your reasoning is wrong.

no

The ball can come back directly into the hands only if it hits the wall perpendicularly with elastic collision.

hence vx of the ball = v cos θ . t = 8t
rel vel of approach of ball and wall = (8t+u)

hence time of meeting = 108t+u

and vy of the ball is 0 as it hits the wall perpendicularly.

v sinθ - gt = 0

or 6 = gt
or t = 6g

hence 108t+u = 6g
taking g as 9.8
we get u = 25/3 .....hence none

someone please verify it.
