Concept explainers
To show:The boy in the tree makes wrong move so that water balloon is shot.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Both the water balloon and the body in the tree start falling at the same instant in a time t .
Formula used:
The displacement is,
Calculation:
Boy starts falling its initial velocity is zero.
Displacement along y -axis.
The water balloon makes a horizontal projectile motion. So time taken by it is
Initial velocity of balloon is zero.
Comparing the equation (1) and (2), it can be concluded that water balloon will hit the boy.
Conclusion:
Thus, a boy makes a wrong move.
