Two bodies of same mass are projected with the same velocity at an angle $${30^ \circ }$$ and $${60^ \circ }$$ respectively. The ratio of their horizontal ranges will be
When an object is projected with velocity $$u$$ making an angle $$\theta $$ with the horizontal direction,then horizontal range will be
$${R_1} = \frac{{{u^2}\sin 2\theta }}{g}\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
when an object is projected with velocity $$u$$ making an angle $$\left( {{{90}^ \circ } - \theta } \right)$$ with the horizontal direction, then horizontal range will be
$$\eqalign{
& {R_2} = \frac{{{u^2}\sin 2\left( {{{90}^ \circ } - \theta } \right)}}{g} = \frac{{{u^2}}}{g}\sin \left( {{{180}^ \circ } - 2\theta } \right) \cr
& = \frac{{{u^2}}}{g}\sin 2\theta \,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right) \cr} $$
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we note that $${R_1} = {R_2}$$
Here, the projection angle is $${30^ \circ }$$ and $${60^ \circ } = \left( {{{90}^ \circ } - {{30}^ \circ }} \right),$$ so horizontal range is same for both angles.
$$\therefore \frac{{{R_1}}}{{{R_2}}} = 1$$

The speed of a boat is $$5\,km/h$$ in still water. It crosses a river of width $$1.0\,km$$ along the shortest possible path in $$15\,min.$$ The velocity of the river water is (in $$km/h$$ )
Let $${v_r} =$$ velocity of river
$${v_{br}} =$$ velocity of boat in still water and
$$w =$$ width of river
Time taken to cross the river = $$15\,\min$$
$$ = \frac{{15}}{{60}}h = \frac{1}{4}h$$
Shortest path is taken when $${v_b}$$ is along $$AB.$$ In this case,
$$\eqalign{
& v_{br}^2 = v_r^2 + v_b^2 \cr
& {\text{Now,}}\,t = \frac{w}{{{v_b}}} = \frac{w}{{\sqrt {v_{br}^2 - v_r^2} }} \cr
& \therefore \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{5^2} - v_r^2} }} \cr
& \Rightarrow {5^2} - v_r^2 = 16 \cr
& \Rightarrow v_r^2 = 25 - 16 = 9 \cr
& \therefore {v_r} = \sqrt 9 = 3\,km/h \cr} $$ Alternative
$$\eqalign{
& t = \frac{{15}}{{60}} = \frac{1}{4}\lambda s \cr
& \Rightarrow {\text{Motion along the }}Y{\text{ - axis}}\,t = \frac{y}{{{v_b}\cos \theta }} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{{5\cos \theta }} \Rightarrow \cos \theta = \frac{4}{5} \cr
& {\text{so,}}\,\,\sin \theta = \frac{3}{5} \cr} $$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ Motion is along the $$x$$-axis. For the boat to reach at $$B$$
$$\eqalign{
& {v_b}\sin \theta = {v_r} \cr
& \Rightarrow 5 \times \frac{3}{5} = {v_r} \cr
& \Rightarrow {v_r} = 3\,km/h \cr} $$ NOTE
If $${v_r} \geqslant {v_{br}},$$ the boatman can never reach at point $$B.$$

From a building two balls $$A$$ and $$B$$ are thrown such that $$A$$ is thrown upwards and $$B$$ downwards (both vertically). If $${v_A}$$ and $${v_B}$$ are their respective velocities on reaching the ground, then
Ball $$A$$ is thrown upwards from the building. During its downward journey when it comes back to the point of throw, its speed is equal to the speed of throw. So, for the journey of both the balls from point $$A$$ to $$B.$$
We can apply $${v^2} - {u^2} = 2gh.$$
As $$u,g,h$$ are same for both the balls, $${v_A} = {v_B}$$
304.
From a pole of height $$10\,m,$$ a stone is thrown vertically upwards with a speed $$5\,m/s.$$ The time taken by the stone, to hit the ground, is $$n$$ times that taken by it to reach the highest point of its path. The value of $$n$$ is [take $$g = 10\,m/{s^2}$$ ]
Given, $$H = 10\,m,u = 5\,m/s,g = 10\,m/{s^2}$$
Speed on reaching ground
$$v = \sqrt {{u^2} + 2gH} $$
Now, $$v = u + at \Rightarrow \sqrt {{u^2} + 2gH} = - u + gt$$
Time taken to reach highest point is $$t = \frac{u}{g},$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow t = \frac{{u + \sqrt {{u^2} + 2gh} }}{g} = \frac{{nu}}{g}\,\left( {{\text{from question}}} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow 2gH = n\left( {n - 2} \right){u^2} \cr
& \Rightarrow n\left( {n - 2} \right) = \frac{{2gH}}{{{u^2}}} = \frac{{2 \times 10 + 10}}{{5 \times 5}} = 8 \Rightarrow n = 4 \cr} $$

Three vectors $$\overrightarrow P ,$$ $$\overrightarrow Q $$ and $$\overrightarrow R $$ are shown in the figure. Let $$S$$ be any point on the vector $$\overrightarrow R .$$ The distance between the points $$P$$ and $$S$$ is $$b\left| {\vec R} \right|.$$ The general relation among vectors $$\overrightarrow P ,$$ $$\overrightarrow Q $$ and $$\overrightarrow S $$ is-
A
$$\overrightarrow S = \left( {1 - b} \right)\overrightarrow P + b\overrightarrow Q $$
B
$$\overrightarrow S = \left( {b - 1} \right)\overrightarrow P + b\overrightarrow Q $$
C
$$\overrightarrow S = \left( {1 - {b^2}} \right)\overrightarrow P + b\overrightarrow Q $$
D
$$\overrightarrow S = \left( {1 - b} \right)\overrightarrow P + {b^2}\overrightarrow Q $$
Answer :
$$\overrightarrow S = \left( {1 - b} \right)\overrightarrow P + b\overrightarrow Q $$
At point $$B$$ the direction of velocity component of the projectile along $$Y$$- axis reverses.
Hence, $${\overrightarrow V _B} = 2\hat i - 3\hat j$$

The displacement $$x$$ of a particle varies with time $$t$$ as $$x = a{e^{ - \alpha t}} + b{e^{\beta t}},$$ where $$a,b,\alpha $$ and $$\beta $$ are positive constants. The velocity of the particle will
Given, $$x = a{e^{ - \alpha t}} + b{e^{\beta t}}$$
Velocity $$v = \frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = - a\alpha {e^{ - \alpha t}} + b\beta {e^{\beta t}} = A + B$$
where, $$A = - a\alpha {e^{ - \alpha t}}$$
$$B = b\beta {e^{\beta t}}$$
The value of term $$A = - a\alpha {e^{ - \alpha t}}$$ decreases and of term $$B = b\beta {e^{\beta t}}$$ increases with time. As a result, velocity goes on increasing with time.

For angles of projection of a projectile at angles $$\left( {{{45}^ \circ } - \theta } \right)$$ and $$\left( {{{45}^ \circ } + \theta } \right),$$ the horizontal ranges described by the projectile are in the ratio of
We know that, horizontal ranges for complementary angles of projection will be same. The projectiles are projected at angles $$\left( {{{45}^ \circ } - \theta } \right)$$ and $$\left( {{{45}^ \circ } + \theta } \right)$$ which are complementary to each other i.e. two angles add up to give $${90^ \circ }.$$ Hence, horizontal ranges will be equal. Thus, the required ratio is $$1:1.$$ Alternative
Horizontal range of projectile $$R = \frac{{{u^2}\sin 2\alpha }}{g}$$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{For}}\,\,\alpha = \left( {{{45}^ \circ } - \theta } \right) \cr
& {R_1} = \frac{{{u^2}\sin 2\left( {{{45}^ \circ } - \theta } \right)}}{g} \cr
& = \frac{{{u^2}\sin \left( {{{90}^ \circ } - 2\theta } \right)}}{g} \cr
& = \frac{{{u^2}\cos 2\theta }}{g} \cr
& {\text{For}}\,\,\alpha = \left( {{{45}^ \circ } + \theta } \right), \cr
& {R_2} = \frac{{{u^2}\sin 2\left( {{{45}^ \circ } + \theta } \right)}}{g} \cr
& = \frac{{{u^2}\sin \left( {{{90}^ \circ } + \theta } \right)}}{g} \cr
& = \frac{{{u^2}\cos 2\theta }}{g} \cr
& {\text{Hence,}}\,\frac{{{R_1}}}{{{R_2}}} = \frac{1}{1} \cr
& {\text{or}}\,{R_1}:{R_2} = 1:1 \cr} $$

The velocity of a projectile at the initial point $$A$$ is $$\left( {2\hat i + 3\hat j} \right)m/s.$$ Its velocity (in $$m/s$$ ) at point $$B$$ is
Concept
As we know that in projectile motion only velocity of $$y$$ component change, whereas velocity of $$x$$ component remains constant.
From the figure, the $$x$$-component remains unchanged, while the $$y$$-component is reversed. Thus, the velocity at point $$B$$ is $$\left( {2\hat i - 3\hat j} \right)m{s^{ - 1}}.$$

A particle moving along $$x$$-axis has acceleration $$f$$ at time $$t,$$ given by $$f = {f_0}\left( {1 - \frac{t}{T}} \right),$$ where $${f_0}$$ and $$T$$ are constants. The particle at $$t = 0$$ has zero velocity. In the time interval between $$t = 0$$ and the instant when $$f = 0,$$ the particle’s velocity $$\left( {{v_x}} \right)$$ is
