Motion in A Plane
A stone tied to the end of a string 80 cm long is whirled in a horizontal circle with a constant speed. If the stone makes 14 revolutions in 25 s, what is the magnitude and direction of acceleration of the stone.
Given,
Length of the string, l = 80 cm
Number of revolutions = 14
Time taken = 25 s
The direction of centripetal acceleration is always directed along the string, toward the centre, at all points.
Explain and derive parallelogram law of vector additor.
The parallelogram law of vector addition states that if two vectorsare represented by the two adjacent sides of a parallelogram by both magnitude and direction from a point, then their resultant can be represented by the diagonal of the parallelogramfrom the same point.
A projectile is thrown at an angle θ from the horizontal with velocity u under the gravitation field of the earth. Derive expressions for its:
a)Time of its flight
b)Height
c)Horizontal Range
Let us consider a ball projected at an angle θ with respect to horizontal x-axis with the initial velocity u .
The point O is called the point of projection, θ is the angle of projection and OB = horizontal range. The total time taken by the particle from reaching O to B is called the time of flight.
Now,
(a). The total time of flight is
Resultant displacement is zero in Vertical direction.
Therefore, by using equation of motion
(b). The horizontal range is
Horizontal range OA = horizontal component of velocity × total flight time
(c). The maximum height is
It is the highest point of the trajectory point A. When the ball is at point A, the vertical component of the velocity will be zero.
By using equation of motion
Hence, this is the required solution

What is a scalar quantity?
A physical quantity that requires only magnitude for its complete specification is called a scalar quantity.
