A projectile of mass $$m$$ is thrown with a velocity $$v$$ making an angle $${60^ \circ }$$ with the horizontal. Neglecting air resistance, the change in velocity from the departure $$A$$ to its arrival at $$B,$$ along the vertical direction is
As the figure drawn above shows that at points $$A$$ and $$B$$ the vertical component of velocity is $$v$$ $$\sin {60^ \circ }$$ but their directions are opposite. Hence, change in velocity.
$$\Delta v = v\sin {60^ \circ } - \left( { - v\sin {{60}^ \circ }} \right) = 2v\sin {60^ \circ } = \sqrt 3 v$$

A particle is moving such that its position co-ordinates $$\left( {x,y} \right)$$ are $$\left( {2m,3m} \right)$$ at time $$t = 0,\,\left( {6m,7m} \right)$$ at time $$t = 2\,s$$ and $$\left( {13m,14m} \right)$$ at time $$t = 5\,s.$$
Average velocity vector $$\left( {{v_{av}}} \right)$$ from $$t = 0$$ to $$t = 5\,s$$ is
A
$$\frac{1}{5}\left( {13\hat i + 14\hat j} \right)$$
B
$$\frac{7}{3}\left( {\hat i + \hat j} \right)$$
C
$$2\left( {\hat i + \hat j} \right)$$
D
$$\frac{{11}}{5}\left( {\hat i + \hat j} \right)$$
Answer :
$$\frac{{11}}{5}\left( {\hat i + \hat j} \right)$$
Given, position vector of the particle at $$t = 0$$ is $$\left( {2\hat i + 3\hat j} \right)$$ and $$t = 5\,s$$ is $$\left( {13\hat i + 14\hat j} \right)$$
Average velocity vector $${v_{av}} = \frac{{{\text{Net displacement}}}}{{{\text{Time taken}}}}$$
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{\left( {13 - 2} \right)\hat i + \left( {14 - 3} \right)\hat j}}{5} \cr
& = \frac{{11\hat i + 11\hat j}}{5} \cr
& = \frac{{11}}{5}\left( {\hat i + \hat j} \right) \cr} $$

A boat which has a speed of $$5 km/hr$$ in still water crosses a river of width $$1 \,km$$ along the shortest possible path in $$15 \,minutes.$$ The velocity of the river water in $$km/hr$$ is-
Distance travelled by the body in $${n^{th}}$$ second is given by
$$\eqalign{
& {s_n} = u + \frac{a}{2}\left( {2n - 1} \right) \cr
& {\text{Here,}}\,u = 0 \cr
& \therefore {\text{For}}\,{4^{th}}\,s,\,{s_4} = \frac{a}{2}\left( {2 \times 4 - 1} \right) \cr
& {\text{and}}\,{\text{For}}\,{3^{rd}}\,s,\,{s_3} = \frac{a}{2}\left( {2 \times 3 - 1} \right) \cr
& {\text{Hence,}}\,\frac{{{s_4}}}{{{s_3}}} = \frac{{\left( {2 \times 4 - 1} \right)}}{{\left( {2 \times 3 - 1} \right)}} = \frac{7}{5} \cr} $$

A boy is standing on a cart moving along $$x$$-axis with the speed of $$10\,m/s.$$ When the cart reaches the origin he throws a stone in the horizontal $$x-y$$ plane with the speed of $$5\,m/s$$ with respect to himself at an angle $$\theta $$ with the $$x$$-axis. It is found that the stone hits a ball lying at rest at a point whose co-ordinates are $$\left( {\sqrt 3 m,1m} \right).$$ The value of $$\theta $$ is (gravitational effect is to be ignored)

Consider a rubber ball freely falling from a height $$h = 4.9\,m$$ onto a horizontal elastic plate. Assume that the duration of collision is negligible and the collision with the plate is totally elastic.
Then the velocity as a function of time and the height as a function of time will be:
For downward motion: $$v=-gt$$
The velocity of the rubber ball increases in downward direction and we get a straight line between $$v$$ and $$t$$ with a negative slope.
Also applying $$y - {y_0} = ut + \frac{1}{2}a{t^2}$$
We get $$y - h = - \frac{1}{2}g{t^2}\,\, \Rightarrow y = h - \frac{1}{2}g{t^2}$$
The graph between $$y$$ and $$t$$ is a parabola with $$y = h$$ at $$t= 0.$$ As time increases $$y$$ decreases. For upward motion:
The ball suffer elastic collision with the horizontal elastic plate therefore the direction of velocity is reversed and the magnitude remains the same.
Here $$v=u-gt$$ where $$u$$ is the velocity just after collision. As $$t$$ increases, $$v$$ decreases. We get a straight line between $$v$$ and $$t$$ with negative slope.
Also $$y = ut - \frac{1}{2}g{t^2}$$
All these characteristics are represented by graph (B).

Six vectors $$a$$ to $$f$$ have the magnitudes and directions indicated in the figure. Which of the following statements is true?
If two non-zero vectors are represented by the two adjacent sides of a parallelogram, then the resultant is given by the diagonal of the parallelogram passing through the point of intersection of the two vectors
$$\therefore d + e = f$$
