Another car B is `L = 40 m` ahead of car A at `t = 0` and starts moving at a constant acceleration of `a = 1 m//s^(2)` (at t = 0). Consider the length of the two cars to be negligible and treat them as point objects. (a) Plot the position–time `(x–t)` graph for the two cars on the same graph.

A body has maximum range `R_1` when projected up the plane. The same body when projected down the inclined plane, it has maximum range `R_2`. Find the maximum horizontal range. Assume equal speed of projection in each case and the body is projected onto the inclined plane in the line of the greatest slope. |
Answer» Let `theta_0` be the angle of inclined plane with horizontal. Then for upward projection, `R_(max) = (u^2)/(g(1 + sin theta_0)) = R_1` …(i) For downward projection, `R_(max) = (u^2)/(g(1 - sin theta_0)) = R_2` …(ii) For a projection on horizontal surface, we have `R_(max) = (u^2)/(g) = R`(say) ....(iii) To establish a relation between `R,R_1`, and `R_2`, we need to eliminate `theta_0`. From (i) and (ii), we get `(2)/(R) = (1)/(R_1) + (1)/(R_2) rArr R = (2 R_1 R_2)/(R_1 + R_2)`. |

A projectile is thrown in the upward direction making an angle of `60^@` with the horizontal direction with a velocity of `150 ms^-1`. Then the time after which its inclination with the horizontal is `45^@` is |
Answer» Here, ` theta= 60^@, u =150 ms^(-1)` . Let after time (t) its velocity become (v) making an angle ` 45^@` with the horizontal. Since the horizontal component velocity of projectile remains sunchanged during angular projection, henc ` u cos 60^@ = v cos 45^2` or ` v= ( u cos 60^@0/ ( cos 45^@)` Taking vertcal upward motin of projectile from tiem (t), we have, ` u =u sin 60^@, a =- g, t=t` and ` v=v sin 45^@`. ltbRgt As ` v=u + at so v sin 45^2 = u sin 60^@- gt` or ` ( u cos 60^@)/( cos 45^@) xx sin 45^@ = u sin 60^@-gt` ltbRgt or ` t = u/g [ sin 60^@- cos 60^@] = ( 150)/(10)[(sqrt3)/2 - 1/2]` ltbRgt =` 5.49 s`. |

(Figure 5.11) shows two positions `A and B` at the same height `h` above the ground. If the maximum height os the projectile is `H`, then determine the time `t` elapses between the positions `A and B` in terms of `H`. . |
Answer» Let `T` be the time of flight. We can now wire `T = (2 u sin theta)/(g)` `T^2 = (4 u^2 sin^2 theta)/(g^2) = (8)/(g) ((u^2 sin^2 theta)/(g)) = (8 H)/(g)` Hence, we can write in similar way, `t^2 = (8(H - h))/(g)` Thus, `t = sqrt((8)/(g) (H - h))`. |

A projectile is thrown in the upward direction making an angle of `60^@` with the horizontal direction with a velocity of `150 ms^-1`.

Answer» Correct Answer - C ( c) At the two points of the trajectory during projectile motion, the horizontal component of the velocity is same. Then `150 xx (1)/(2) = v xx (1)/(sqrt(2))` or `v = (150)/(sqrt(2)) ms^-1` Initially : `u_y = u sin 60^@ = (150 sqrt(3))/(2) ms^-1` Finally : `v_y = v sin 45^@ = (150)/(sqrt(2)) xx (1)/(sqrt(2)) = (150)/(2) ms^-1` But `v_y = u_y + a_y t` or `(150)/(2) = (150 sqrt(3))/(2) - 10 t` `10 t = (150)/(2) (sqrt(3) - 1)` or `t = 7.5 (sqrt(3)- 1)`. |

What do you mean by motion in one Dimension? |
Answer» Position of any point is completely expressed by two factors : Its distance from the observer and its direction with respect to observer. That is why position is characterised by a vector known as position vector. Let point P is in a xy plane and its coordinates are (x, y). Then position vector (r) of point will be xi + yj and if the point P is in a space and its coordinates are (x, y, z) then position vector can be expressed as r = xi + yj + zk. |

Two trains `110 m` and `90 m` log respectively, are trunning in opposite directions with velocities `36 km h^(-1)` and `54 km h^(-1)` Find the time taken by the trains to completely cross each other. |
Answer» `t=("Total length")/("Relative velocity") =(110+90)/((36+54)xx(5//18)) =8 s` ` | |

A railroad flatcar is traveling to the right at a speed of `13.0 ms^(-1)` relative to an observer standing on the groun . Someone is riding a scooter on the flatcar. Corresponding to the relative velocities `18 m s^(-1)` to the right, `3 m s^(-1)` to the left and `0 ms^(-1)` of scooter w.r.t. ground, find thefrlative velocities (magnitude and direction) of scootre w.r.t. the flatcat. . |
Answer» a. `v_(as) =18 ms^(-1) v_(c) =13 ms^(-1)` `v_(s//c) =v_(s)-v_(c) =18-13 =5 ms^(-1)` b. `v_(s) =-3 ms^(-1) v_(s//c) =v_(s)-v_(c) =-3 -13 =-16 ms^(-1)` `v_(s) =0 v_((s)/(c)) =v_(s)-v_(c) =0-13 =-134 ms^(-1)`. Negative sign indicates left direction. |

A moving sidewalk in an airport terminal building moves at a speed of `1.0 m s^(-1)` and is `35.0 m` relative to the moving sidewalk, then find the time that she requires to reach the opposite end `a` when she walks in the same direction the sidewalk is moving and `b` when she walks in the opposite derection. |
Answer» a. When she walks in the same direction, relative velocity of woman w.r.t. fround: `v_(1)=1+1.5 =2.5 ms^(-1)`, Time taken`=(s)/(v_(1)) =(35)/(2.5) =14 s` b. When be she walks in the opposite derection, relative velcity of woman w.r.t. groun: `v_(2)=1.5-12 =0.5 ms^(-1)`. Time taken `=(s)/(v_(2))=(35)/(0.5) =70 s`. |

Two particles are separated at a horizontal distance `x` as shown in (Fig. 5.57). They are projected at the same time as shown in the figure with different initial speed. Find the time after which the horizontal distance between the particles becomes zero. . |
Answer» Let `x_1 and x_2` are the horizontal distances travelled by particle `A and B`, respectively, in time `t`. `x_1 = (u)/(sqrt(3)). Cos 30^2 xx t` ….(i) and `x_2 = u cos 60^@ xx t` …(ii) `x_1 + x_2 = (u)/(sqrt(3)). Cos 30^@ xx t + u cos 60^@ xx t = ut` `rArr x = ut rArr t = x//u`. |
