A simple pendulum has time period 2s . The point of suspension is now moved upward accoding to relation y = (6t - 3.75t^(2))m where t is in second and y is the vertical displacement in upward direction. The new time period of simple pendulum will be

An electron falls from rest through a vertical distance h in a uniform and vertically upward directed electric field E. The direction of electric field is now reversed, keeping its magnitude the same. A proton is allowed to fall from rest in it through the same vertical distance h. The time of fall of the electron, in comparison to the time of fall of the proton is

Why do we have two eyes for vision and not just one ?

A body A is thrown vertically upwards with such a velocity that it reaches a maximum height of h. Simultaneously, another body B is dropped from height h. It strikes the ground and does not rebound. The velocity of A relative to B versus time graph is best represented by (upward direction is positive).
