Answer» Correct Answer - D
Velocity of particle after time `t` is `vecV_(1)=(v cos theta hati+v sin theta hatj)-(ghatj)t`
`vecV_(2)=(v cos 2theta hati+v sin 2theta hatj)-(ghatj)t`
To be parallel of `V_(1)` and `V_(2)`
`rArr (v cos theta)/(v cos 2theta)=(v sin theta-"gt")/(v sin 2theta-"gt")`
Solving the above equation, we get,
`t=v/gcos(theta/2)cosec(3theta)/2`

Velocity and acceleration of a particle at time t = 0 are `u=(2hat(i)+3hat(j))m//s` and `a=(4hat(i)+2hat(j))m//s^(2)` respectively. Find the velocity and displacement of particle at t = 2 s.

Answer» Here, acceleration `a=(4hat(i)+2hat(j))m//s^(2)` is constant. So, we can apply
`v=u+at` and `s=ut+(1)/(2)at^(2)`
Substituting the proper values, we get
`v=(2hat(i)+3hat(j))+(2)(4hat(i)+2hat(j))`
`=(10hat(i)+7hat(j)) m//s`
and `s=(2)(2hat(i)+3hat(j))+(1)/(2)(2)^(2)(4hat(i)+2hat(j))`
`=(12hat(i)+10hat(j))m`
Therefore, velocity and displacement of particle at t = 2s are `(10hat(i)+7hat(j))m//s` and `(12hat(i)+10hat(j))m` respectively.

Let `u`= the speed of projection, `theta_(1)` and `theta_(2)`= the angles of projection. Let `vecr_(1)` and `vecr_(2)` be the position vectors of the two particles in a ground frame. `vecr_(1)`
`=(u cos theta_(1)),thati+[(usintheta_(1))t-1/2"gt"^(2)]hatj`
`vecr_(2)=(u cos theta_(2))t hati+[(usintheta_(2))t-1/2"gt"^(2)]hatj`
The position vector of one particle with respect to another is `vecr=vecr_(1)-vecr_(2)=[u (cos theta_(1)-cos theta_(2))t]hati+[u(sin theta_(1)-sin theta_(2)t]hatj=at hati+bt hatj=[ahati+bhatj]t`,
where `a` and `b` are constants.

Consider the motion of particle along the axes shown in figures.We have
`u_(x)=u, a_(x)=-g sin 60^(@)`
`u_(y)=0, a_(y)=-g cos 60^(@)`
(a) As the particle strikes the plane `OB` perpendicularly, `:.v_(x)=0` as `v_(x)=u_(x)+a_(x)t`
or `0=u-g sin 60^(@)t rArr t=u/(g sin 60^(@))=(10sqrt3)/(10xxsqrt3/2)=2s`
(b) Initial velocity along `y`-axis is zero.The velocity along `y`-axis after `2 s ,v_(y)=u_(y)+a_(y)t`
`=0-g cos 60^(@) xx2=-10xx1/2xx2=-10m//s`
(c) We have , `v_(x)^(2)=u_(x)^(2)+2a_(x)s`
Since `v_(x)=0` and
`a_(x)=g sin 60^(@),u=10sqrt3m//s`
`:.0=(10sqrt3)^(2)-2xxg sin 60^(@)xx(OQ)`
`OQ=(10^(2)xx3)/(2xx10xxsqrt3/2)=10sqrt3m`
Distance`PO=0+1/2g sin 30^(@)xx(2)^(2)`
`=1/2xx10xx1/2xx4=10m`
Therefore height `h` of point `P`,
`h=PQ sin 30^(@)=10xx1/2=5m`
(d) Distance `PQ=sqrt(PO^(2)+OQ^(2))`
`=PQ=sqrt((10)^(2)+(10sqrt3)^(2))=20m`

Since, the given time t = 5 s is greater than `t_(0)=3s`
`"distance" gt|"displacement"|`
Distance `d=|s_(0-t_(0))|+|s_(t-t_(0))|=(u^(2))/(2|a|)+(1)/(2)|a|(t-t_(0))^(2)`
`=((12)^(2))/(8)+(1)/(2)xx4xx(2)^(2)=26 m`

From a point `A` on bank of a channel with still water a person must get to a point `B` on the opposite bank.All the distances are shown in figure.The person uses a boat to travel across the channel and then walks along the bank of point `B`.The velocity of the boat is `v_(1)` and the velocity of the walking person is `v_(2)`.Prove that the fastest way for the person to get from `A` to `B` is to select the angles `alpha_(1)` and `alpha_(2)` in such a manner that A. `(sin alpha_(1))/(sinalpha_(2))=v_(2)/v_(1)`B. `(sin alpha_(1))/(sinalpha_(2))=v_(1)/v_(2)`C. `(cos alpha_(1))/(cos alpha_(2))=v_(2)/v_(1)`D. `(cos alpha_(2))/(cos alpha_(1))=v_(1)/v_(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`S_(1)=x/(sin alpha_(1)),S_(2)=(d-x)/(sin alpha_(2)),t_(1)=S_(1)/v_(1)=x/(v_(1)sin alpha_(1))`
and `t_(2)=S_(2)/v_(2)=(d-x)/(v_(2)sin alpha_(2))`
`t=x[1/(v_(1)sin alpha_(1))-1/(v_(2)sin alpha_(2))]+d/(v_(2)sin alpha_(2))`
For `t` be minimum `(dt)/(dx)=0` or
`1/(v_(1)sin alpha_(1))=1/(v_(2)sin alpha_(2)),v_(1)/v_(2)=sin alpha_(2)/sin alpha_(1)`

If the angle between the vectors `vecA and vecB` is `theta,` the value of the product `(vecB xx vecA) * vecA` is equal toA. `BA^(2) cos theta`B. `BA^(2) sin theta`C. `BA^(2) sin theta cos theta`D. zero

Answer» Correct Answer - D
We know that scalar triple product is cyclic,
`(vec(B)xxvec(A)).vec(A)=(vec(A)xxvec(B)).vec(A)=(vec(A)xxvec(A)).vec(B)=vec(0).vec(B)=0`

A particle is thrown with the speed u at an angle `alpha` with the horizontal. When the particle makes an angle ` beta ` the horizontal , its speed will beA. ` u cos alpha `B. `u cos alpha.sec beta`C. ` u cos alpha.cos alpha`D. ` u sec alpha.cos beta`

Answer» Correct Answer - Bhe key here is that, for a projectile (defined to be moving only under the influence of gravitational acceleration), there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction. Hence, its horizontal speed is constant during its entire flight (from the moment it leaves the launcher until it hits something, and is no longer a projectile).

Horizontal velocity remains same = u cos(alpha)

Let particle velocity at time when it makes angle beta be v m/s.

Then,

Vertical velocity = v cos(beta)

horizontal velocity = vertical velocity
u cos(alpha) = v cos(beta)
v = u cos(alpha)/cos(beta)
=> v=ucos(alpha)sec(beta)

Vectors `vecA` and `vecB` include an angle `theta` between them. If `(vecA + vecB)` and `(vecA- vecB)` respectively subtend angles `alpha and beta` with `vecA`, then `(tan alpha + tan beta)` isA. `((A sin theta))/((A^(2) +B^(2)cos^(2)theta)) `B. `((2AB sin theta))/((A^(2) -B^(2)cos^(2)theta)) `C. `((A^(2) sin^(2) theta))/((A^(2) +B^(2)cos^(2)theta)) `D. `((B^(2) sin^(2) theta))/((A^(2) -B^(2)cos^(2)theta)) `

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`tan alpha = (B sin theta)/(A + B cos theta)" "…(i)`
where `alpha ` is the angle made by the vector `(vecA + vecB)` with `vecA`.
Similarly, `tan beta = (B sin theta)/(A - B cos theta) " "…(ii)`
where `beta` is the angle made by the vector `(vecA - vecB)` with `vecA`.
Note that the angle between `vecA and (-vecB)` is `(180^(@) - theta)`.
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
`tan alpha + tan beta = (B sin theta)/(A + b cos theta) + (B sin theta)/(A -Bcostheta)`
` = (AB sin theta - B^(2) sin thetacos theta + AB sin theta + B^(2) sintheta cos theta)/((A + B cos theta)(A-Bcos theta))`
` = (2AB sin theta)/((A^(2) - B^(2) cos ^(2) theta))`
