A boy throws a ball in air at `60^(@)` to the horizontal along a road with a speed of 10 m/s (36 km/h). Another boy sitting in a passing by car observes the ball. Sketch the motion of the ball as observed by the boy in the car, if car has a speed of (18km/h). Give explanation to support your diagram.

Verified by Experts

Consider the diagram below

The boy throws the ball at an angle of `60^(@)`. `:.` Horizontal component of velocity `4 cos theta`
`=(10//m)cos60^(@)=10xx1/2=5m//s`
Speed of the car `=18 km//h=5 m//s`
As horizontal speed of ball and car is same, hence relative velocity of car and ball in the horizontal direction will be zero. only vertical motion of the ball will be seen by the boy in the car, as shown in the figure

A ball was thrown by a boy a at angle 60^(@) with horizontal at height 1 m from ground. Boy B is running in the plane of motion of ball and catches the ball at height 1 m from ground. He finds the ball falling vertically. If the boy is running at a speed 20 km/hr. Then the velocity of projection of ball is-
