Prithvi missile is fired to destroy an enemy military base situated on same horizontal level, situated 99 km away. The missile rises vertically for 1 km & then for remainder of flight, it followes parbolic path like a free body under earth's gravity, at an angle of `45^(@)`. Calculate its velocity at beginning of parabolic path. `(g=10 ms^(-2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

for horizontal motion time t
`t= (99xx10^(3))/(u cos 45^(@))`
for vertical
`1xx10^(3)=u sin 45^(@) t=1/2xx10xxt^(2)`
`1xx10^(3)+(u sin 45^(@))/(u sin 45^(@))xx99xx10^(3)=10/2xx((99xx10^(3))^(2)xx2)/u^(2)`
`u^(2)=((99xx10^(3))^(2)xx10)/(100xx10^(3))`
`u=99xx10^(3) sqrt(1/10^(4))=990 ms^(-1)`

A cracker is thrown into air with a velocity of 10 m//s at an angle of 45^(@) with the vertical. When it is at a height of 0.5 m from the ground, it explodes into a number of pieces which follow different parabolic paths. What is the velocity of centre of mass, when it is at a height of 1 m from the ground? ( g = 10 m//s^(2) )

I will never forget that day. It was a day in BSF academy at Tekanpur. We were a batch of 96 officers being taken for an intensive training in arms. Of these, 20 of us engineers and IITians. Having studied projectile motion during our school days, we were quite keen to see it being demonstrated in case of. weapons, the man showing us the demo was using an AK-47 fitted with tracer bullets. As they were fired, we could actually see them, they would emit light. First of all the man fired at the center of the target 30 m away while firing horizontally. We could actually see the bullet moving in a parabolic path and hitting 2 cm below the target. ''You see. That is what I said. For accurate firing you need to aim not at the target but slightly above.'' (g = 10 m//s^(2)) At what angle should the bullet have been fired as to hit at the center keeping the gun just on same level of target?

A bullet fired from a gun with a velocity of 140 ms^(-1) strikes the ground at the same level as the gun at a distance of 1 km. Find the angle of inclination with the horizontal at which the bullet is fixed. Take g=9.8ms^(-2) .

A body of mass 1kg is projected with velocity 50 ms^(-1) at an angle of 30^(@) with the horizontal. At the highest point of its path a force 10 N starts acting on body for 5s vertically upward besids gravitational force, what is horizontal range of the body (Take, g = 10 ms^(-2))

a projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of 5ms^(-1) and angle theta with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a velocity of 3ms^(-1) at the same angle follows a trajectory which is identical with the trajectory of the projectile fired from the earth.The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is in ms^(-2) is given (g=9.8 ms^(-2))

A wedge of mass M = 2m rests on a smooth horizontal plane. A small block of mass m rests over it at left end A as shown in figure. A sharp impulse is applied on the block, due to which it starts moving to the right with velocity v_(0) = 6 ms^(-1) . At highest point of its trajectory, the block collides with a particle of same mass m moving vertically downwards with velocity v = 2 ms^(-1) and gets stuck with it. If the combined body lands at the end point A of body of mass M, calculate length l . Neglect friction (g = 10 ms^(-2)) .

A rod AB of length 2m is hinging at point A and its other end B is atteched to a platform on which a point of mass m is kept. Rod rotates about point A maintaing angle theta = 30^(@) with the vertical in such a way that platform remain horizontal and revolves on the horizontal circular path.If the coeffiicent of staic friction between the block and platform is mu = 0.1 then find the maximum angular velocity in rad s^(-1) of rod so that the block does not slip on the plateform (g = 10 ms^(-2))

A ball is thrown from a point O with a velocity u=20ms^(-1) at an angle theta=30^(@) with the horizontal.It hits a vertical wall which is at a distance x , from O as shown in the figure.After rebounding from the wall, the ball returns to O without retracing its path. If g=10ms^(-2) and the coefficient restitution e=0.5 ,the value of x is
