In the climax of a movie, the hero jumps from a helicopter and the villain chasing the hero also jumps from the same level . After sometime when they come at same horizontal level, the villain fires bullet horizontally towards the hero, Both were falling with constant acceleration `2(m)/(s^2), because of parachute, Assuming the hero to be within the range of bullet, which of the following is correct.

A

bullet will hit the hero

B

bullet will pass above the hero

C

bullet will pass below the hero

D

bullet will definitely hit the hero, if both were falling with constant acceleration `g` instead of `2(m)/(s^2)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of both the hero and the villain, as well as the bullet fired by the villain. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Conditions**: - Both the hero and the villain jump from the same height and fall with a constant downward acceleration of \(2 \, \text{m/s}^2\) due to their parachutes. 2. **Acceleration of the Bullet**: - When the villain fires the bullet, it will experience a downward acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately \(g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2\). 3. **Relative Motion**: - Since both the hero and the villain are falling with an acceleration of \(2 \, \text{m/s}^2\), we can say that they are both in free fall but with different accelerations compared to the bullet. 4. **Time of Flight**: - When the villain fires the bullet horizontally, it will start falling downwards with an acceleration of \(10 \, \text{m/s}^2\). The bullet will fall faster than the hero, who is falling at \(2 \, \text{m/s}^2\). 5. **Comparison of Positions**: - As time progresses, the vertical position of the hero can be described by the equation: \[ y_h = h - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 \cdot t^2 \] - The vertical position of the bullet can be described by: \[ y_b = h - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot t^2 \] - Here, \(h\) is the initial height from which both the hero and the bullet start falling. 6. **Finding the Difference in Positions**: - The difference in the vertical positions of the bullet and the hero at any time \(t\) can be calculated as: \[ y_b - y_h = \left(h - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot t^2\right) - \left(h - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 \cdot t^2\right) \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ y_b - y_h = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (10 - 2) \cdot t^2 = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 8 \cdot t^2 = 4t^2 \] - This means that the bullet is falling \(4t^2\) meters below the hero at any time \(t\). 7. **Conclusion**: - Since the bullet falls faster than the hero, it will pass below the hero when fired. Therefore, the correct conclusion is that the bullet will not hit the hero, as it will fall below him. ### Final Answer: The bullet will pass below the hero.

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of both the hero and the villain, as well as the bullet fired by the villain. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Conditions**: - Both the hero and the villain jump from the same height and fall with a constant downward acceleration of \(2 \, \text{m/s}^2\) due to their parachutes. 2. **Acceleration of the Bullet**: ...

Two persons, A of mass 60 kg and B of mass 40 kg , are standing on a horizontal platform of mass 50 kg . The platform is supported on wheels on a horizontal frictionless surface and is initially at rest. Consider the following situations. (i) Both A and B jump from the platform simultaneously and in the same horizontal direction. (ii) A jumps first in a horizontal direction and after a few seconds B also jumps in the same direction. In both the situations above, just after the jump, the person ( A or B ) moves away from the platform with a speed of 3 m//s relative to the platform and along the horizontal. In situation (i), just after both A and B jump from the platform, velocity of centre of mass of the system ( A, B and the platform) is

A circus wishes to develop a new clown act. Fig. (1) shows a diagram of the proposed setup. A clown will be shot out of a cannot with velocity v_(0) at a trajectory that makes an angle theta=45^(@) with the ground. At this angile, the clown will travell a maximum horizontal distance. The cannot will accelerate the clown by applying a constant force of 10, 000N over a very short time of 0.24s . The height above the ground at which the clown begins his trajectory is 10m . A large hoop is to be suspended from the celling by a massless cable at just the right place so that the clown will be able to dive through it when he reaches a maximum height above the ground. After passing through the hoop he will then continue on his trajectory until arriving at the safety net. Fig (2) shows a graph of the vertical component of the clown's velocity as a function of time between the cannon and the hoop. Since the velocity depends on the mass of the particular clown performing the act, the graph shows data for serveral different masses. The slope of the line segments plotted in figure 2 is a figure constant. Which one of the following physical quantities does this slope represent?
