A cricket ball is hit with a velocity $$25\,m{s^{ - 1}},{60^ \circ }$$ above the horizontal. How far above the ground, ball passes over a fielder $$50\,m$$ from the bat (consider the ball is struck very close to the ground)?
Take $$\sqrt 3 = 1.7$$ and $$g = 10\,m{s^{ - 2}}$$
252.
A body is thrown with a velocity of $$9.8\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$ making an angle of $${30^ \circ }$$ with the horizontal. It will hit the ground after a time
253.
A body is thrown vertically upwards. If air resistance is to be taken into account, then the time during which the body rises is [assume no air resistance close to earth]
A
equal to the time of fall
B
less than the time of fall
C
greater than the time of fall
D
twice the time of fall
Answer :
less than the time of fall
Let the initial velocity of ball be $$u$$
$$\therefore $$ Time of rise $${t_1} = \frac{u}{{g + a}}$$ and height reached $$ = \frac{{{u^2}}}{{2\left( {g + a} \right)}}$$
Time of fall $${t_2}$$ is given by
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{1}{2}\left( {g - a} \right)t_2^2 = \frac{{{u^2}}}{{2\left( {g + a} \right)}} \cr
& {t_2} = \frac{u}{{\sqrt {\left( {g + a} \right)\left( {g - a} \right)} }} \cr
& = \frac{u}{{\left( {g + a} \right)}}\sqrt {\frac{{g + a}}{{g - a}}} \cr
& \therefore {t_2} > {t_1}\,{\text{because}}\,\frac{1}{{g + a}} < \frac{1}{{g - a}} \cr} $$

The position of particle is given by $$\vec r = 2{t^2}\hat i + 3t\hat j + 4\hat k,$$ where $$t$$ is in second and the coefficients have proper units for $${\vec r}$$ to be in metre. The $$\vec a\left( t \right)$$ of the particle at $$t = 1\,s$$ is
A
$$4\,m{s^{ - 2}}$$ along $$y$$-direction
B
$$3\,m{s^{ - 2}}$$ along $$x$$-direction
C
$$4\,m{s^{ - 2}}$$ along $$x$$-direction
D
$$2\,m{s^{ - 2}}$$ along $$z$$-direction
Answer :
$$4\,m{s^{ - 2}}$$ along $$x$$-direction
$$\eqalign{
& \vec r = 2{t^2}\hat i + 3t\hat j + 4\hat k \cr
& \therefore \vec v = \frac{{d\vec r}}{{dt}} = \frac{d}{{dt}} = \left( {2{t^2}\hat i + 3t\hat j + 4\hat k} \right) = 4t\hat i + 3\hat j \cr
& \vec a = \frac{{d\vec v}}{{dt}} = \frac{d}{{dt}}\left( {4t\hat i + 3\hat j} \right) = 4\hat i \cr} $$
$$\therefore \vec a = 4\,m{s^{ - 2}}$$ along $$x$$-direction

Two stones of masses $$m$$ and $$2\,m$$ are whirled in horizontal circles, the heavier one in a radius $$\frac{r}{2}$$ and the lighter one in radius $$r.$$ The tangential speed of lighter stone is $$n$$ times that of the value of heavier stone when they experience same centripetal forces. The value of $$n$$ is

Answer :
2
Given, that two stones of masses $$m$$ and $$2\,m$$ are whirled in horizontal circles, the heavier one in a radius $$\frac{r}{2}$$ and lighter one in radius $$r$$ as shown in figure.
As, lighter stone is $$n$$ times that of the value of heavier stone when they experience same centripetal forces, we get
$$\eqalign{
& {\left( {{F_c}} \right)_{{\text{heavier}}}} = {\left( {{F_c}} \right)_{{\text{lighter}}}} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{2m{{\left( v \right)}^2}}}{{\left( {\frac{r}{2}} \right)}} = \frac{{m{{\left( {nv} \right)}^2}}}{r} \cr
& \Rightarrow {n^2} = 4 \Rightarrow n = 2 \cr} $$

A body is projected from the ground with a velocity $$50\,m/s$$ at an angle of $${30^ \circ }.$$ It crosses a wall after $$3\,\sec .$$ How far beyond the wall the stone will strike the ground?
[take $$g = 10\,m/{s^2}$$ ]
A
$$50\sqrt 3 $$
B
$$70\sqrt 2 $$
C
$$15\sqrt 3 $$
D
$$16\sqrt 2 $$
Answer :
$$50\sqrt 3 $$
Required distance from the wall $$ = \frac{{{u^2}\sin 2\theta }}{g} - u\cos \theta \times t = 50\sqrt 3 \,m$$

A train of $$150\,m$$ length is going towards north direction at a speed of $$10\,m{s^{ - 1}}.$$ A parrot flies at a speed of $$5\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$ towards south direction parallel to the railway track. The time taken by the parrot to cross the train is equal to
A
$$12\,s$$
B
$$8\,s$$
C
$$15\,s$$
D
$$10\,s$$
Answer :
$$10\,s$$
So by figure the velocity of parrot w.r.t. train is $$ = 5 - \left( { - 10} \right) = 15\,m/\sec $$
so time taken to cross the train is $$ = \frac{{{\text{length of train}}}}{{{\text{relative velocity}}}} = \frac{{150}}{{15}} = 10\,\sec $$

A bus is moving with a speed of $$10\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$ on a straight road. A scooterist wishes to overtake the bus in $$100\,s.$$ If the bus is at a distance of $$1\,km$$ from the scooterist, with what speed should the scooterist chase the bus?
A
$$20\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$
B
$$40\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$
C
$$25\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$
D
$$10\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$
Answer :
$$20\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$
Let $$v$$ be the relative velocity of scooter $$\left( s \right)$$ w.r.t. bus $$\left( B \right),$$ then
$$v = {v_s} - {v_B}$$
$$\therefore {v_s} = v + {v_B}\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
$${\text{Relative velocity = }}\frac{{{\text{Displacement}}}}{{{\text{Time}}}}$$
$$ = \frac{{1000}}{{100}} = 10\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$
Now, substituting the value of $$v$$ in Eq. (i), we get
$${v_s} = 10 + 10 = 20\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$

A car moving with a speed of $$40\,km/h$$ can be stopped after $$2\,m$$ by applying brakes. If the same car is moving with a speed of $$80\,km/h,$$ what is the minimum stopping distance?
A
$$8\,m$$
B
$$2\,m$$
C
$$4\,m$$
D
$$6\,m$$
Answer :
$$8\,m$$
According to conservation of energy, the kinetic energy of car = work done in stopping the car i.e. $$\frac{1}{2}m{v^2} = Fs$$
where, $$F$$ is the retarding force and $$s$$ is the stopping distance.
For same retarding force,
$$\eqalign{
& s \propto {v^2} \cr
& \therefore \frac{{{s_2}}}{{{s_1}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{v_2}}}{{{v_1}}}} \right)^2} = {\left( {\frac{{80}}{{40}}} \right)^2} = 4 \cr
& \therefore {s_2} = 4{s_1} = 4 \times 2 \cr
& = 8\,m \cr} $$ Alternative
Initial speed of car $$u = 40\;km/h$$
$$ = 40 \times \frac{5}{{18}}\;m/s = \frac{{100}}{9}\;m/s$$
From 3rd equation of motion,
$$\eqalign{
& {v^2} = {u^2} - 2as \cr
& \Rightarrow 0 = {\left( {\frac{{100}}{9}} \right)^2} - 2 \times a \times 2 \cr
& 4a = \frac{{100 \times 100}}{{81}} \cr
& \Rightarrow a = \frac{{2500}}{{81}}\;m/{s^2} \cr} $$
Final speed of car $$ = 80\;km/h$$
$$ = 80 \times \frac{5}{{18}} = \frac{{200}}{9}\;m/s$$
Suppose car stops for a distance $${s'}.$$ Then
$$\eqalign{
& {v^2} = {u^2} - 2as' \cr
& 0 = {\left( {\frac{{200}}{9}} \right)^2} - 2 \times \frac{{2500}}{{81}}s' \cr
& \Rightarrow s' = \frac{{200 \times 200 \times 81}}{{9 \times 9 \times 2 \times 2500}} = 8\;m \cr} $$
