A projectile is required to hit a target whose co-ordinates relative to horizontal and vertical axes through the point of projection are (alpha, beta) If the projection speed is sqrt(2g alpha) . Then the condition when it is impossible to hit the target is

A projectile is aimed at a mark on a horizontal plane through the point of projection and falls 6 m short when its elevation is 30° but overshoots the mark by 9 m when its elevation is 45^@ . The angle of elevation of projectile to hit the target on the horizontal plane is :

A particle projected atv a definite angle prop to the horizontal passes through points (a,b) and (b,a) , referred to horizontal and vertical axes through the points of projection. Show that : (a) The horizontal range R = (a^2 + ab + b^2)/(a + b) . (b) The angle of projection prop is given by tan^-1 [(a^2 + ab + b^2)/(ab)] .

The trajectory of a projectile in a vertical plane is y = ax - bx^2 , where a and b are constant and x and y are, respectively, horizontal and vertical distances of the projectile from the point of projection. The maximum height attained by the particle and the angle of projectile from the horizontal are.

The velocity of a projectile at the initial point A is (2 i+3 j)m/s .Its velocity (in m/s ) at point B is

The velocity of a projectile at the initial point A is (2hati+3hatj) m//s . Its velocity (in m/s) at point B is

The trajectory of a projectile in a vertical plane is y=ax-bx^(2) , where a and b are constants and x and y are respectively horizontal and vertical distances of the projectile from the point of projection. The maximum height attained by the particle and the angle of projection form the horizontal are:

If a,b and c are real and a+b+c=0 , then the line 3ax+4by+c=0 passes through the point whose coordinates are

Two seconds after being projected from ground level, a projectile is displaced 40 m horizontally and 58 m vertically above its launch point. What are the (a) horizontal and (b) vertical components of the initial velocity of the projectile? (c ) At the instant the projectile achieves its maximum height above ground level, how far is it displaced horizontally from the launch point?
