A particle of mass m and charge q is accelerated by a potential difference V volt and made to enter a magnetic field region at an angle theta with the field. At the same moment, another particle of same mass and charge is projected in the direction of the field from the same point. Magnetic field induction is B. What would be the speed of second particle so that both particles meet again and again after regular interval of time. Also, find the time interval after which they meet and the distance travelled by the second particle during that interval.

Represent the following situations in the form of quadratic equations : (i) The area of a rectangular plot is 528 m^2 . The length of the plot (in metres) is one more than twice its breadth. We need to find the length and breadth of the plot. (ii) The product of two consecutive positive integers is 306. We need to find the integers. (iii) Rohan’s mother is 26 years older than him. The product of their ages (in years) 3 years from now will be 360. We would like to find Rohan’s present age. (iv) A train travels a distance of 480 km at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 8 km/h less, then it would have taken 3 hours more to cover the same distance. We need to find the speed of the train.

A train, travelling at 20 km//hr is approaching a platform. A bird is sitting on a pole on the platform. When the train is at a distance of 2 km from pole, breakes are applied which produce auniform deceleration in it. At that instant the bird flies towards the train at 60 km//hr and after touching the nearest point on the train flies back to the pole and then flies towards the train and continues repeating itself. Calculate how much distance will the bird have flown before the train stops?

Two trains are approaching each other on the same track with velocity 100 km/h and 50 km/h. When they are at a distance of 300 km from each other, a bird starts flying from train 1 towards train 2. When the bird reaches train 2, it instantly reverses its direction and flies again towards train 1. This process continues till the bird is trapped between the trains when they collide. If the bird always travels at a constant speed 200 km/h, the total distance the bird flies is:

Two cars started simultaneously towards each other from towns A and B which are 480 km apart.It took first car travelling from A to B 8 hours to cover the distance and second car travelling form B to A in 12 hours.Determine when do the car meet after starting and at what distance from town A.Assuming that both the cars travelled with constant speed.

The brakes of a train which is travelling at 30 m//s are applied as the train passes point A. The brakes produce a constant retardation of magnitude 3lambda m//s^(2) until the speed of the train is reduced to 10 m//s . The train travels at this speed for a distance and is then uniformly accelerated at lambda m//s^(2) until it again reaches a speed of 30 m//s as it passes point B. the time taken by the train in travelling from A to B, a distance of 4 km, is 4 min. Sketch the speed time graph for this motion and calculate:- (i) The value of lambda (ii) Distance travelled at 10 m//s .

The speed of a motor launch with respect to still water in a stream is 8 ms^(-1) while water current's speed is 3 m s^(-1) . When the launch began travelling upstream, a float was dropped from it. After travelling a distance of 4.8 km upstream, the launch turned back and caught up with the float. What is the total time which elapsed during the process?
