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]
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
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{1}{2}\left( {g - a} \right)t_2^2 = \frac{{{u^2}}}{{2\left( {g + a} \right)}} \cr
& {t_2} = \frac{u}{{\sqrt {\left( {g + a} \right)\left( {g - a} \right)} }} \cr
& = \frac{u}{{\left( {g + a} \right)}}\sqrt {\frac{{g + a}}{{g - a}}} \cr
& \therefore {t_2} > {t_1}\,{\text{because}}\,\frac{1}{{g + a}} < \frac{1}{{g - a}} \cr} $$
254.
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
$$\eqalign{
& \vec r = 2{t^2}\hat i + 3t\hat j + 4\hat k \cr
& \therefore \vec v = \frac{{d\vec r}}{{dt}} = \frac{d}{{dt}} = \left( {2{t^2}\hat i + 3t\hat j + 4\hat k} \right) = 4t\hat i + 3\hat j \cr
& \vec a = \frac{{d\vec v}}{{dt}} = \frac{d}{{dt}}\left( {4t\hat i + 3\hat j} \right) = 4\hat i \cr} $$
$$\therefore \vec a = 4\,m{s^{ - 2}}$$ along $$x$$-direction
255.
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
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
$$\eqalign{
& {\left( {{F_c}} \right)_{{\text{heavier}}}} = {\left( {{F_c}} \right)_{{\text{lighter}}}} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{2m{{\left( v \right)}^2}}}{{\left( {\frac{r}{2}} \right)}} = \frac{{m{{\left( {nv} \right)}^2}}}{r} \cr
& \Rightarrow {n^2} = 4 \Rightarrow n = 2 \cr} $$
256.
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 $$g = 10\,m/{s^2}$$ ]
Required distance from the wall $$ = \frac{{{u^2}\sin 2\theta }}{g} - u\cos \theta \times t = 50\sqrt 3 \,m$$
257.
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
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 $$ = \frac{{{\text{length of train}}}}{{{\text{relative velocity}}}} = \frac{{150}}{{15}} = 10\,\sec $$
258.
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?
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
$${v_s} = 10 + 10 = 20\,m{s^{ - 1}}$$
259.
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?
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
$$\eqalign{
& {v^2} = {u^2} - 2as' \cr
& 0 = {\left( {\frac{{200}}{9}} \right)^2} - 2 \times \frac{{2500}}{{81}}s' \cr
& \Rightarrow s' = \frac{{200 \times 200 \times 81}}{{9 \times 9 \times 2 \times 2500}} = 8\;m \cr} $$

A particle is projected at angle $${37^ \circ }$$ with the incline plane in upward direction with speed $$10\,m/s.$$ The angle of incline plane is given $${53^ \circ }.$$ Then the maximum height attained by the particle from the incline plane will be
