A ball rolls off top of a stair case with horizontal velocity `u (m)/(s)` if the steps are h meter high and b meter wide, the ball will just hit the edge of `n^(th)` step. Then value of n is:

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If the ball hits the `n^(th)` step, the horizontal and vertical distances traversed are nd and nh respectively. Let t be the time taken by the ball for these horizontal and vertical displacement. Velocity along horizontal direction =u (remains constant) and initial vertical velocity=zero.
`therefore nb=ut` and `nh=0+(1)/(2)"gt"^(2)`
Eliminating t from the equation
`nh=(1)/(2)g((nb)/(u))^(2) rArr n=(2hu^(2))/(gb^(2))`

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 20 ms^(-1) from the top of a multistorey building. The height of the point from where the ball is thrown is 25.0 m from the ground. (a) How high will the ball rise ? and (b) how long will it be before the ball hits the ground ? Take g = 10 ms^(-2) .

On a frictionless horizontal surface , assumed to be the x-y plane , a small trolley A is moving along a straight line parallel to the y-axis ( see figure) with a constant velocity of (sqrt(3)-1) m//s . At a particular instant , when the line OA makes an angle of 45(@) with the x - axis , a ball is thrown along the surface from the origin O . Its velocity makes an angle phi with the x -axis and it hits the trolley . (a) The motion of the ball is observed from the frame of the trolley . Calculate the angle theta made by the velocity vector of the ball with the x-axis in this frame . (b) Find the speed of the ball with respect to the surface , if phi = (4 theta )//(4) .

A car P is moving with a uniform speed 5sqrt3 m//s towards a carriage of mass 9 kg at rest kept on the rails at a point B as shown in figure. The height AC is 120 m. Cannon balls of 1 kg are fired from the car with an initial velocity 100m//s at an angle 30^@ with the horizontal. The first cannon hall hits the stationary carriage after a time t_0 and sticks to it. Determine t_0 . At t_0 , the second cannon ball is fired. Assume that the resistive force between the rails and the carriage is constant and ignore the vertical motion of the carriage throughout. If the second ball also hits and sticks to the carriage, what will be the horizontal velocity of the carriage just after the second impact?

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. If a clown holds on to hoop instead of passing through it, what is the position of the cable so that he doesn't hit his head on the ceiling as he swings upward?

From the the top of a tower 19.6 m high, a ball is thrown horizontally. If the line joining the point of projection to the point where it hits the ground makes an angle of 45^(@) with the horizontal, then the initial velocity of the ball is:-

A golfer standing on level ground hits a ball with a velocity of u=52m//s at an angle alpha above the horizontal. If tantheta=5//12 , then the time interval for which the ball is at least 15 m above the ground (i.e. between A and B will be :(take g=10m//s^(2) )

A rectangular plate of mass M and dimension axxb is held in horizontal position by striking n small balls (each of mass m) per unit area per second. The balls are striking in the shaded half region of the plate. The collision of the balls with the plate is elastic. What is v? (Given n=100, M =3 kg, m=0.01 kg, b = 2m, a =1m, g = 10m/s^2).
