Motion in a Plane

A boy playing on the roof of a 10 m high building throws a ball with a speed of 10 m/s at an angle of $30^\circ$ with the horizontal. How far from the throwing point will the ball be at the height of 10 m from the ground? $\left[ {g = 10m/{s^2},\sin 30^\circ = {1 \over 2},\cos 30^\circ = {{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}} \right]$

When a car is at rest, its driver sees rain drops falling on it vertically. When driving the car with speed v, he sees that rain drops are coming at an angle 60° from the horizontal. On further increasing the speed of the car to (1 + $\beta$)v, this angle changes to 45^o. The value of $\beta$ is close to :

A projectile can have the same range 'R' for two angles of projection. If T₁ and T₂ be the time of flights in the two cases, then the product of the two time of flights is directly proportional to

A ball is thrown from a point with a speed ν₀ at an angle of projection θ. From the same point and at the same instant person starts running with a constant speed ${{{v_0}} \over 2}$ to catch the ball. Will the person be able to catch the ball? If yes, what should be the angle of projection θ?

A particle is moving with velocity $\overrightarrow v = k\left( {y\widehat i + x\widehat j} \right)$, where K is a constant. The general equation for its path is

A projectile is given an initial velocity of $\left( {\widehat i + 2\widehat j} \right)$ m/s, where ${\widehat i}$ is along the ground and ${\widehat j}$ is along the vertical. If g = 10 m/s², the equation of its trajectory is:

A shell is fired from a fixed artillery gun with an initial speed u such that it hits the target on the ground at a distance R from it. If t₁ and t₂ are the values of the time taken by it to hit the target in two possible ways, the product t₁t₂ is -

The trajectory of a projectile near the surface of the earth is given as y = 2x – 9x² . If it were launched at an angle $\theta$₀ with speed v₀ then (g = 10 ms^–2) :

The trajectory of a projectile in a vertical plane is y = $\alpha$x $-$ $\beta$x², where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants and x & y are respectively the horizontal and vertical distances of the projectile from the point of projection. The angle of projection $\theta$ and the maximum height attained H are respectively given by :

At t = 0, truck, starting from rest, moves in the positive x-direction at uniform acceleration of 5 ms^$-$2. At t = 20 s, a ball is released from the top of the truck. The ball strikes the ground in 1 s after the release. The velocity of the ball, when it strikes the ground, will be : (Given g = 10 ms^$-$2)
