A particle located at $$x=0$$ at time $$t=0,$$ starts moving along with the positive $$x$$-direction with a velocity $$'v\,'$$ that varies as $$v = \alpha \sqrt x .$$ The displacement of the particle varies with time as-
$$\eqalign{
& v = \alpha \sqrt x ,\,\,\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = \alpha \sqrt x \Rightarrow \frac{{dx}}{{\sqrt x }} = \alpha \,dt \cr
& \int\limits_0^x {\frac{{dx}}{{\sqrt x }}} = \alpha \int\limits_0^t {dt} \cr
& \Rightarrow \left[ {\frac{{2\sqrt x }}{1}} \right]_0^x = \alpha \left[ t \right]_0^t \cr
& \Rightarrow 2\sqrt x = \alpha t \cr
& \Rightarrow x = \frac{{{\alpha ^2}}}{4}{t^2} \cr} $$

A bullet is fired from a gun with a speed of $$1000\,m/s$$ in order to hit a target $$100\,m$$ away. At what height above the target should the gun be aimed? (The resistance of air is negligible and $$g = 10\,m/{s^2}$$ )
Horizontal distance of the target is $$100\,m.$$
Speed of bullet $$= 1000\,m/s$$
Time taken by bullet to cover the horizontal distance,
$$t = \frac{{100}}{{1000}} = \frac{1}{{10}}s$$
During $$\frac{1}{{10}}s,$$ the bullet will fall down vertically due to gravitational acceleration.
Therefore, height above the target, so that the bullet hit the target is
$$\eqalign{
& h = ut + \frac{1}{2}g{t^2} = \left( {0 \times \frac{1}{{10}}} \right) + \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times {\left( {0.1} \right)^2} \cr
& = 0.05\,m \cr
& = 5\,cm \cr} $$

The vector sum of two forces is perpendicular to their vector differences. In that case, the forces
Let $$A$$ and $$B$$ be two forces. The sum of the two forces.
$${F_1} = A + B\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
The difference of the two forces,
$${F_2} = A - B\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
Since, sum of the two forces is perpendicular to their differences as given, so
$$\eqalign{
& {F_1} \cdot {F_2} = 0 \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\left( {A + B} \right) \cdot \left( {A - B} \right) = 0 \cr
& {\text{or}}\,{A^2} - A \cdot B + B \cdot A - {B^2} = 0 \cr
& {\text{or}}\,{A^2} = {B^2} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\left| A \right| = \left| B \right| \cr} $$
Thus, the forces are equal to each other in magnitude.

The angle between the two vectors $$A = 3\hat i + 4\hat j + 5\hat k$$ and $$B = 3\hat i + 4\hat j - 5\hat k$$ will be
Angle between two vectors is given as from dot product $$A \cdot B = \left| A \right|\left| B \right|\cos \theta $$
$$\eqalign{
& \cos \theta = \frac{{A \cdot B}}{{AB}} \cr
& {\text{Here,}}\,\,A = 3\hat i + 4\hat j + 5\hat k \cr
& B = 3\hat i + 4\hat j - 5\hat k \cr
& \therefore A = \sqrt {{{\left( 3 \right)}^2} + {{\left( 4 \right)}^2} + {{\left( 5 \right)}^2}} = \sqrt {50} \cr
& B = \sqrt {{{\left( 3 \right)}^2} + {{\left( 4 \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 5} \right)}^2}} = \sqrt {50} \cr
& {\text{and}}\,A \cdot B = \left( {3\hat i + 4\hat j + 5\hat k} \right) \cdot \left( {3\hat i + 4\hat j - 5\hat k} \right) \cr
& = 9 + 16 - 25 = 0 \cr
& \therefore \cos \theta = \frac{0}{{\sqrt {50} \cdot \sqrt {50} }} = 0 \Rightarrow \theta = {90^ \circ } \cr} $$

An object is projected with a velocity of $$20\,m/s$$ making an angle of $${45^ \circ }$$ with horizontal. The equation for the trajectory is $$h = Ax - B{x^2}$$ where $$h$$ is height, $$x$$ is horizontal distance, $$A$$ and $$B$$ are constants. The ratio $$A:B$$ is
$$\left( {g = 10\,m{s^{ - 2}}} \right)$$

The coordinates of a particle moving in $$x-y$$ plane at any instant of time $$t$$ are $$x = 4{t^2};y = 3{t^2}.$$ The speed of the particle at that instant is
Concept
Unit vector can be found by dividing a vector with its magnitude i.e. $$\hat A = \frac{A}{{\left| A \right|}}$$
Let we represent the unit vector by $$\hat n.$$ We also know that the modulus of unit vector is 1 i.e., $$\left| {\hat n} \right| = 1$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \left| {\hat n} \right| = \left| {0.5\hat i + 0.8\hat j + c\hat k} \right| = 1 \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,\sqrt {{{\left( {0.5} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {0.8} \right)}^2} + {c^2}} = 1 \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,0.25 + 0.64 + {c^2} = 1 \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,0.89 + {c^2} = 1 \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,{c^2} = 1 - 0.89 = 0.11 \Rightarrow c = \sqrt {0.11} \cr} $$

A car moves with a speed of $$60\,km/hr$$ from point $$A$$ to point $$B$$ and then with the speed of $$40\,km/hr$$ from point $$B$$ to point $$C.$$ Further it moves to a point $$D$$ with a speed equal to its average speed between $$A$$ and $$C.$$ Points $$A,B,C$$ and $$D$$ are collinear and equidistant. The average speed of the car between $$A$$ and $$D$$ is
Let the points $$A, B, C$$ and $$D$$ be separated by $$1\,km.$$ Then
$$\eqalign{
& {t_{AB}} = \frac{1}{{60}}hr,{t_{BC}} = \frac{1}{{40}}hr \cr
& \therefore < {v_{AC}} > = \frac{{1 + 1}}{{\frac{1}{{60}} + \frac{1}{{40}}}} = 48\,km/hr \Rightarrow {t_{CD}}\frac{1}{{48}}hr. \cr
& {\text{Now}}\, < {v_{AD}} > = \frac{{1 + 1 + 1}}{{\frac{1}{{60}} + \frac{1}{{40}} + \frac{1}{{48}}}} = 48\,km/hr \cr} $$

The $$x$$ and $$y$$ coordinates of the particle at any time are $$x = 5t - 2{t^2}$$ and $$y = 10t$$ respectively, where $$x$$ and $$y$$ are in metres and $$t$$ in seconds. The acceleration of the particle at $$t = 2\,s$$ is
