Solution
The correct option is B15m Let v be the magnitude of velocity of ball w.r.t ground and vTg be the magnitude of velocity of trolley w.r.t ground. From the ground frame of reference, horizontal velocity of ball w.r.t ground is zero. We can write velocity of ball w.r.t trolley in component form as vbT=−vcos60∘^i+vsin60∘^j And from the equation of relative motion, vbT=vbg−vTg ⇒−vcos60∘^i+vsin60∘^j=vbg^j−10^i On Equating horizontal component (along x- axis), we get vcos60°=10 ⇒v=20m/s We can calculate maximum height by using H=v2sin2θ2g=202sin260∘2g=15m
