Two guns situated at the top of a hill of height 10 m fire one shot each with the same speed 5sqrt(3) m//s at some interval of time. One gun fires horizontal and the other fores upwards at an angle of 60^(@) with the horizontal. Two shots collide in air at a poit P .

A car P is moving with a uniform speed 5sqrt3 m//s towards a carriage of mass 9 kg at rest kept on the rails at a point B as shown in figure. The height AC is 120 m. Cannon balls of 1 kg are fired from the car with an initial velocity 100m//s at an angle 30^@ with the horizontal. The first cannon hall hits the stationary carriage after a time t_0 and sticks to it. Determine t_0 . At t_0 , the second cannon ball is fired. Assume that the resistive force between the rails and the carriage is constant and ignore the vertical motion of the carriage throughout. If the second ball also hits and sticks to the carriage, what will be the horizontal velocity of the carriage just after the second impact?

When a particle is undergoing motion, the diplacement of the particle has a magnitude that is equal to or smaller than the total distance travelled by the particle. In many cases the displacement of the particle may actually be zero, while the distance travelled by it is non-zero. Both these quantities, however depend on the frame of reference in which motion of the particle is being observed. Consider a particle which is projected in the earth's gravitational field, close to its surface, with a speed of 100sqrt(2) m//s , at an angle of 45^(@) with the horizontal in the eastward direction. Ignore air resistance and assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 10 m//s^(2) . " A third observer (C) close to the surface of the reports that particle is initially travelling at a speed of 100sqrt(2) m//s making on angle of 45^(@) with the horizontal, but its horizontal motion is northward". The third observer is moving in :-

Ignore air resistance and assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 10 m//s^(2) . The motion of the particle is observed in two different frames: one in the ground frame (A) and another frame (B), in which the horizontal component of the displacement is always zero. Two observers locates in these frames ill agree on :-

A large , heavy box is sliding without friction down a smooth plane of inclination theta . From a point P on the bottom of the box , a particle is projected inside the box . The initial speed of the particle with respect to the box is u , and the direction of projection makes an angle alpha with the bottom as shown in Figure . (a) Find the distance along the bottom of the box between the point of projection p and the point Q where the particle lands . ( Assume that the particle does not hit any other surface of the box . Neglect air resistance .) (b) If the horizontal displacement of the particle as seen by an observer on the ground is zero , find the speed of the box with respect to the ground at the instant when particle was projected .
