A particle is projected with velocity 2sqrt(gh) and at an angle 60^@ to the horizontal so that it just clears two walls of equal height 'h' which are at a distance 2h from each other. The time taken by the particle to travel between these two walls

Consider a closed box of rigid walls so that the density of the air inside it is constant. On heating, the pressure of this enclosed air is increased from P_0 to P. It is now observed that sound travels 1.5 times faster than at pressure P_0 . Calculate P//P_0

Question based on paragraph : A boy pushed his toy car on a table . The car moved ahead and stopped after travelling a certain distance . But when he kept on pushing his car , the car started moving with a uniform velocity . The boy later decided to do some adventurous activity while playing with his car , so he launched his toy car from a platform to a bucket filled with water as soon as the car landed inside the bucket , the water from the bucket splashed out and the boy enjoyed his new game .: Why did the toy car stop after travelling a certain distance ?
