A particle can be projected in two different ways to make them fall at the same distance.
In case of projectile motion,
i) P.E is maximum at the highest point.
ii) K.E of a projectile will be minimum (but not zero) at the highest point, because only vertical component of velocity is zero. K.E is maximum at the place of projection.
iii) Total mechanical energy is conserved at all location of it's motion.
The angle between the velocity vector and acceleration vector is 90o.
Let, u be the velocity of projection of the ball. The motion of the ball is along vertical direction.
The ball will cover maximmum horizontal distance when angle of projection with horizontal is 45o.
Horizontal range is given by,
This is the required maximum distance between the two projectiles when they strike the ground.
The maximum range of projectile projected with velocity numerically equal to 9.8 is 'g' (i.e., 9.8) meter.
Here,

It will follow a parabolic path w.r.t. observer on the ground.B.
It hits the ground vertically below the point from where it is dropped.C.
It falls with acceleration equal to acceleration due to gravity.Time of ascent = Time of descent.
Therefore,
t1 + t2 = 4
t2 + t2 = 4
This implies,
t2 = 2 sec
Now, taking vertical downward motion of the ball from the highest point to surface of earth we have,
u = 0, a = 10 m/s, t = 2 s, s = ?
Now, using the formula,

Uniform acceleration of the car = 2 m/s2
Velocity of car at t = 5s = 10 m/s
When stone is dropped, the velocity of car and hence velocity of stone is 10 m/s in horizontal direction.
Since at 5s the stone loses the contact from car, therefore, the stone will move uniformly in horizontal direction and accelerate in vertically downward direction due to gravity.
At t = 5·5s or 0·5 s after the stone is dropped, the X and Y component of velocity are
So, magnitude of velocity is given by,
Acceleration of the stone at t=5.5 sec is the same as acceleration due to gravity.

The angles are θ and 90°–θ.
Maximum height H1 for angle projection θ is,
Maximum height H2 for angle projection 90°–θ is,
Now, sum of maximum height is,
Hence the result.
Let a projectile be projected with speed 'u' at angle 'θ' from O and strike the ground at P with velocity 'v'.
The projectile will strike the ground at P after time equal to the time of the flight.
Now, resolving the components of 'u' in the horizontal and vertical direction, we have

A particle starts moving from position of rest under a constant acceleration. If it travels a distance x in t second, what distance will it travel in next t second?
Given,

Now, using the relation, we have
x = 0 + 1/2 at2 ... (1)
Let the body travel a distance y in next t seconds.
The total distance travelled in t+t = 2t sec will be (x+y).
Therefore,

Dividing equation (2) by (1), we have
During the vertical fall of a body, the time taken for the body to fall is given by,

which is independent of the mass of the body.
Hence, both the bodies will reach the ground simultaneously.
Total distance to be travelled, s = 100 + 1000 = 1100 m
Velocity, v = 60 km/hr = 50/3 m/s
Therefore,

Using the relation,
s = ut + 1/2 at2
1500 = 200 t + 1/2(-10)t2
On solving the equation,we get

Relative velocity of one train w.r.to second is,

Total distance to be travelled = 120 +80 = 200 m
Time taken, t =
In 10 sec, the two trains will completely cross each other.

Total distance to be travelled = 120 + 80 = 200 m
Time taken = 200/20 = 10 sec
Two buses started simultaneously towards each other from towns A and B which are 480 km apart. It took the first bus travelling from A to B eight hours to cover the distance and the second bus travelling from B to A, ten hours. Determine when the buses will meet after starting and at what distance from A.
Here, distance between two towns A and B, S = 480 km
v1 = S/8 and
v2 = S/10
If these buses meet after time t, then
S/8 x t + S/10 x t = S
On solving, we get
t = 40/9 hours
Therefore, distance from A = 480/80 x 40/9 = 800/3 = 266.7 km
a) Displacement in 10 min (=1/6 hr) = OB = r = 1 km
Therefore,

= 2.05 km
Therefore,
Averge speed = = 12.30 km/hr
Total distance to be travelled for overtaking the car = 5.0 +5.0 = 10. 0 m
Relative velocity of first car w.r.t second car = 60 - 42 = 8 km/hr
= 8 x 1000/ (60 x 60)
= 50 m/s
Time taken, t = 10/5 = 2 s.
Road distance used for overtaking = distance travelled by first car in 2 s + length of first car

Establish the vector inequality:
(a) |a + b| ≤ |a| + |b|
Let two vectors a and b be represented by the adjacent sides of a parallelogram OMNP, as shown in the given figure.
Here, we have:
| OM | = | a |
| MN | = | OP | = | b |
| ON | = | a + b |
In a triangle, each side is smaller than the sum of the other two sides.
Therefore, in ΔOMN, we have,
ON + MN > OM
ON + OM > MN
| ON | > | OM - OP | (∵ OP = MN)
| a + b | > | | a | - | b | | ...(iv)
If the two vectors a and b act along a straight line in the same direction, then we can write:
| a + b | = | | a | - | b | | ...(v)
Combining equations (iv) and (v), we get:
| a + b | ≥ | | a | - | b | |
Given a + b+ c + d = 0, which of the following statements
are correct :
(a) a, b, c, and d must each be a null vector,
(b) The magnitude of (a + c) equals the magnitude of
( b + d),
(c) The magnitude of a can never be greater than the sum of the magnitudes of b, c, and d,
(d) b + c must lie in the plane of a and d if a and d are not collinear, and in the line of a and d, if they are collinear ?
a)
Incorrect
In order to make vectors a + b + c + d = 0, it is not necessary to have all the four given vectors to be null vectors. There are many other combinations which can give the sum zero.
(b)
Correct
a + b + c + d = 0
a + c = – (b + d)
Taking modulus on both the sides, we get,
| a + c | = | –(b + d)| = | b + d |
Hence, the magnitude of (a + c) is the same as the magnitude of (b + d).
(c)
Correct
a + b + c + d = 0
a = - (b + c + d)
Taking modulus both sides, we get,
| a | = | b + c + d |
| a | ≤ | a | + | b | + | c | ... (i)
Equation (i) shows that the magnitude of a is equal to or less than the sum of the magnitudes of b, c, and d.
Hence, the magnitude of vector a can never be greater than the sum of the magnitudes of b, c, and d.
(d)
Correct
For a + b + c + d = 0

Let the motorist start from point P.
The motorist takes the third turn at S.
∴ Magnitude of displacement = PS = PV + VS = 500 + 500 = 1000 m
Total path length = PQ + QR + RS = 500 + 500 +500 = 1500 m
The motorist takes the sixth turn at point P, which is the starting point.
∴ Magnitude of displacement = 0
Total path length = PQ + QR + RS + ST + TU + UP
= 500 + 500 + 500 + 500 + 500 + 500
= 3000 m
The motorist takes the eight turn at point R.
∴ Magnitude of displacement = PR
Therefore, the magnitude of displacement is 866.03 m at an angle of 30° with PR.
This implies AC makes an angle 30° with the initial direction.
Total path length = 8 × 500 = 4000 m.

When the balloon is descending down with acceleration a,
So, mg - B = mx A ... (i)
where B is the buoyant force.
We assume here that while removing same mass, the volume of balloon and hence buoyant force will not change.
Let, us assume the new mass of the balloon is m'.
So, mass removed is (m-m')
Therefore,
B-m'g = m'x a ... (ii)
On solving equations (i) and (ii), we have
mg - B = m x a
B - m'g = m' x a
mg - m'g = ma + m'a

Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subjected to an only acceleration of gravity. The object is called projectile and its path is called trajectory.
Horizontal component of velocity is always same
⇒ v cos = u cosθ
v =
⇒ v= u cosθ sec
Water level is maintained in a cylindrical vessel upto a fixed height H. The vessel is kept on a horizontal plane. At what height above the bottom should a hole be made in the vessel, so that the water stream coming out of the hole strikes the horizontal plane of the greatest distance from the vessel?

What is the radius of curvature of the parabola traced out by the projectile in the previous problem at a point where the particle velocity makes an angle with the horizontal?
A.
Let v be the velocity at the point where it makes an angle with the horizontal.
The horizontal component remains unchanged. So
vm = u cosθ
⇒ v = .....(i)
From figure
