A shell is fired vertically from a cannon which is travelling at constant speed u=30km/hr. the projectile leaves the connon with a velocity `v_(r)=20` m/s relative to the cannon . Show that the shell will land on the vehicle at the gun location and calcu late the distance by the vehicle during the flight of shell.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
s=34m

`T=(2u)/(g)=(2xx20)/(10)=4` sec
Distance travelled by the cannon.
`s=30xx4xx(5)/(18)m`
`s=120xx(5)/(18)`
`s=(100)/(3)m`

A shell is fired from a cannon with a velocity v (m//sec.) at an angle theta with the horizontal direction. At the highest point in its path it explodes into two pieces of equal mass. One of the pieces retraces its path to the cannon and the speed (in m//sec. ) of the other piece immediately after the explosion is

From the top of a long smooth incline a small body A is projected along the surface with speed u. Simultaneously, another small object B is thrown horizontally with velocity v = 10 m//s , from the same point. The two bodies travel in the same vertical plane and body B hits body A on the incline. If the inclination angle of the incline is theta = cos^(-1) ((4)/(5)) find (a) the speed u with which A was projected. (b) the distance from the point of projection, where the two bodies collide.

An aircraft is .flying. horizontally with a constant vefocity =200m//s at a height =1km above groun At the momement shown, a bomb is released from the aircraft and the cannon-gun below fires a shell with initial speed =200m//s , at some angle theta For what value of theta will the projectile shell destroy the bomb in mid-air? If the value of theta is 53^(3) , find the minimum distance between the bomb and the shell as they fly past each other. Take sin53^(@)=4//5
