Prithvi missile is fired to destroy an enemy military base situated on same horizontal level, situated 99 km away. The missile rises vertically for 1 km & then for remainder of flight, it followes parbolic path like a free body under earth's gravity, at an angle of `45^(@)`. Calculate its velocity at beginning of parabolic path. `(g=10 ms^(-2))`

To solve the problem of calculating the velocity of the Prithvi missile at the beginning of its parabolic path, we can break it down into several steps: ### Step 1: Understand the problem The missile rises vertically for 1 km and then follows a parabolic path at an angle of 45 degrees to cover a horizontal distance of 99 km. We need to find the initial velocity of the missile at the beginning of the parabolic path. ### Step 2: Set up the coordinate system Let's denote: - The vertical displacement (rise) as \( s_y = 1 \, \text{km} = 1000 \, \text{m} \) (upward). ...

a projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of 5ms^(-1) and angle theta with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a velocity of 3ms^(-1) at the same angle follows a trajectory which is identical with the trajectory of the projectile fired from the earth.The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is in ms^(-2) is given (g=9.8 ms^(-2))

A wedge of mass M = 2m rests on a smooth horizontal plane. A small block of mass m rests over it at left end A as shown in figure. A sharp impulse is applied on the block, due to which it starts moving to the right with velocity v_(0) = 6 ms^(-1) . At highest point of its trajectory, the block collides with a particle of same mass m moving vertically downwards with velocity v = 2 ms^(-1) and gets stuck with it. If the combined body lands at the end point A of body of mass M, calculate length l . Neglect friction (g = 10 ms^(-2)) .

A rod AB of length 2m is hinging at point A and its other end B is atteched to a platform on which a point of mass m is kept.
