A projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of $$5\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$ at angle $$\theta $$ with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a velocity of $$3\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$ at the same angle follows a trajectory which is identical with the trajectory of the projectile fired from the earth. The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is (in $$m{s^{ - 2}}$$ ) is (given, $$g = 9.8\,m{s^{ - 2}}$$ )
The trajectory of a projectile projected at some angle $$\theta $$ with the horizontal direction from ground is given by
$$y = x\tan \theta - \frac{{g{x^2}}}{{2{u^2}{{\cos }^2}\theta }}$$
For equal trajectories for same angle of projection,
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{g}{{{u^2}}} = {\text{constant}} \Rightarrow \frac{{9.8}}{{{5^2}}} = \frac{{g'}}{{{3^2}}} \cr
& g' = \frac{{9.8 \times 9}}{{25}} = 3.5\,m{s^{ - 2}} \cr} $$

A car, starting from rest, accelerates at the rate $$f$$ through a distance $$S,$$ then continues at constant speed for time $$t$$ and then decelerates at the rate $$\frac{f}{2}$$ to come to rest. If the total distance traversed is $$15\,S,$$ then
Distance from $$A$$ to $$B$$ $$ = S = \frac{1}{2}ft_1^2$$
Distance from $$B$$ to $$C$$ $$ = \left( {f{t_1}} \right)t$$
Distance from $$C$$ to $$D$$ $$ = \frac{{{u^2}}}{{2a}} = \frac{{{{\left( {f{t_1}} \right)}^2}}}{{2\left( {\frac{f}{2}} \right)}}$$
$$ = f{t_1}^2 = 2S$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow S + f{t_1}t + 2S = 15\,S \cr
& \Rightarrow f{t_1}t = 12\,S\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right) \cr
& \frac{1}{2}ft_1^2 = S\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right) \cr} $$
Dividing (i) by (ii), we get $${t_1} = \frac{t}{6}$$
$$ \Rightarrow S = \frac{1}{2}f{\left( {\frac{t}{6}} \right)^2} = \frac{{f{t^2}}}{{72}}$$

A body is projected vertically upwards. If $${t_1}$$ and $${t_2}$$ be the times at which it is at height $$h$$ above the projection while ascending and descending respectively, then $$h$$ is
$$\eqalign{
& h = u{t_1} - \frac{1}{2}gt_1^2 \cr
& {\text{Also}}\,h = u{t_2} - \frac{1}{2}gt_2^2 \cr} $$
After simplify above equations, we get
$$h = \frac{1}{2}g{t_1}{t_2}.$$

The displacement $$x$$ of a particle along a straight line at time $$t$$ is given by : $$x = {a_0} + \frac{{{a_1}t}}{2} + \frac{{{a_2}}}{3}{t^2}.$$ The acceleration of the particle is

A large number of bullets are fired in all directions with the same speed $$v.$$ What is the maximum area on the ground on which these bullets will spread?
Maximum possible horizontal range $$ = \frac{{{v^2}}}{g}$$
Maximum possible area of the circle $$ = \pi {\left( {\frac{{{v^2}}}{g}} \right)^2} = \frac{{\pi {v^4}}}{{{g^2}}}\,\,\left[ {{\text{Here}}\,r = \frac{{{v^2}}}{g}} \right]$$

A bird flies with a speed of $$10\,km/h$$ and a car moves with uniform speed of $$8\,km/h.$$ Both start from $$B$$ towards $$A\left( {BA = 40\,km} \right)$$ at the same instant. The bird having reached $$A,$$ flies back immediately to meet the approaching car. As soon as it reaches the car, it flies back to $$A.$$ The bird repeats this till both the car and the bird reach $$A$$ simultaneously. The total distance flown by the bird is
$${v_L} = 8\,km/h,s = {v_0} \times t \Rightarrow t = \frac{{40}}{8} = 5h.$$
Total distance flown by the bird $$ = 10 \times 5 = 50\,km.$$

The velocity of an object moving rectilinearly is given as a function of time by $$v = 4{t^2} - 3{t^2},$$ where $$v$$ is in $$m/s$$ and $$t$$ is in seconds. The average velocity of particle between $$t = 0$$ to $$t = 2$$ seconds is
248.
A body starts from rest and is uniformly accelerated for $$30\,s.$$ The distance travelled in the first $$10s$$ is $${x_1},$$ next $$10\,s$$ is $${x_2}$$ and the last $$10\,s$$ is $${x_3}.$$ Then $${x_1}:{x_2}:{x_3}$$ is the same as:
249.
A projectile is given an initial velocity of $$\left( {\hat i + 2\hat j} \right)m/s$$ where $${\hat i}$$ is along the ground and $${\hat j}$$ is along the vertical. If $$g = 10\,m/{s^2},$$ the equation of its trajectory is :
From equation, $$\vec v = \hat i + 2\hat j$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow x = t\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right) \cr
& y = 2t - \frac{1}{2}\left( {10{t^2}} \right)\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right) \cr} $$
From (i) and (ii),
$$y = 2x - 5{x^2}$$

In $$1.0\,s,$$ a particle goes from point $$A$$ to point $$B,$$ moving in a semicircle of radius $$1.0\,m$$ (See Figure). The magnitude of the average velocity is
