Neglecting the air resistance, the time of flight of a projectile is determined by:
(1) Uvertical
(2) Uhorizontal
(3) U = U2vertical + U2horizontal
(4) U = U(U2vertical + U2horizontal )1/2
A ball is thrown from a point with a speed v0 at an angle of projection θ. From the same point and at the same instant a person starts running with a constant speed v0/2 to catch the ball. Will the person be able to catch the ball? If yes, what should be the angle of projection?
1. Yes, 60°
2. Yes, 30°
3. No
4. Yes, 45°
A stone is thrown at an angle θ with the horizontal reaches a maximum height of H. Then the time of flight of stone will be:
(1) √2Hg
(2) 2 √2Hg
(3) 2√2H sinθg
(4) √2H sinθg
The horizontal range of a projectile is 4√3 times its maximum height. Its angle of projection will be:
1. 45∘
2. 60∘
3. 90∘
4. 30∘
The maximum horizontal range of a projectile is 400 m. The maximum value of height(ever possible) attained by it will be:
1. 100 m
2. 200 m
3. 400 m
4. 800 m
A particle is moving eastwards with velocity of 5 m/s. In 10 seconds the velocity changes to 5 m/s northwards. The average acceleration in this time is-
1. Zero
2. 1√2 m/s2 toward north-west
3. 1√2 m/s2 toward north-east
4. 12 m/s2 toward north-west
Figure shows four paths for a kicked football. Ignoring the effects of air on the flight, rank the paths according to initial horizontal velocity component, highest first
(1) 1, 2, 3, 4
(2) 2, 3, 4, 1
(3) 3, 4, 1, 2
(4) 4, 3, 2, 1
The path of a projectile in the absence of air drag is shown in the figure by dotted line. If the air resistance is not ignored , then which one of the paths shown in the figure is appropriate for the projectile ?
1. B
2. A
3. D
4. C
A man standing on a road holds his umbrella at 30° with the vertical to keep the rain away. He throws the umbrella and starts running at 10 km/hr. He finds that raindrops are hitting his head vertically, the speed of raindrops with respect to the road will be:
1. 10 km/hr
2. 20 km/hr
3. 30 km/hr
4. 40 km/hr
A boat is moving with a velocity 3ˆi+4ˆj with respect to ground. The water in the river is moving with a velocity−3ˆi−4ˆj with respect to ground. The relative velocity of the boat with respect to water is:
1. 8ˆj
2. −6ˆi−8ˆj
3. 6ˆi+8ˆj
4. 5√2
