A rocket set for vertical firing with a resultant acceleration of 50m/s2 .If the fuel is finished 2  minutes then the maximum height reached by the rocket g=10m/s2

a
36km
b
18km
c
55km
d
2160km

detailed solution

Correct option is D

The height attained by rocket in 2 minutes is  by question,intial velocity=U=0, acceleration= a=50 m/s2, time=  t=2×60=120sec ;displacement=  S=h1  we know, S=Ut+12at2 ⇒h1=1250×120×120 ⇒h1=360km---(1)Velocity gained by the rocket , in 120sec is   V=U+at, substitute given values V=0+50×120=6000m/s  The height attained after 2 minutes =h2=V22g         (obtained from equation of motion) ⇒h2=600022×10=1800000m ⇒h2=1800kmTotal height attained by rocket H=h1+h2=360+1800=2160km
