$A$ shell is fired from a fixed artillery gun with an initial speed $u$ such that it hits the target on the ground at a distance $R$ from it. If $t_1$ and $t_2$ are the values of the time taken by it to hit the target in two possible ways,the product $t_1t_2$ is

  • A
    $2R/g$
  • B
    $R/4g$
  • C
    $R/g$
  • D
    $R/2g$

$A$ ball is dropped from a height and falls due to gravity,while wind simultaneously imparts a uniform horizontal acceleration to it. Which one of the following figures best represents its path?

$A$ projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of $5 \, m s^{-1}$ and angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. Another projectile is fired from another planet with a velocity of $3 \, m s^{-1}$ at the same angle and follows a trajectory which is identical to the trajectory of the projectile fired from the earth. The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is (in $m s^{-2}$) (Given $g = 9.8 \, m s^{-2}$):

$A$ spherical bob of mass $250 \ g$ is attached to the end of a string having length $50 \ cm$. The bob is rotated on a horizontal circular path about a vertical axis. The maximum tension that the string can bear is $72 \ N$. The maximum possible value of angular velocity of the bob (in $rad/s$) is

$A$ particle is moving in a circular path. The acceleration and momentum of the particle at a certain moment are $\vec{a} = (4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j}) \, m/s^2$ and $\vec{P} = (8\hat{i} - 6\hat{j}) \, kg \cdot m/s$. The motion of the particle is:

$A$ projectile is launched from the origin in the $xy$ plane ($x$ is the horizontal and $y$ is the vertically up direction) making an angle $\alpha$ from the $x$-axis. If its distance $r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$ from the origin is plotted against $x$,the resulting curves show different behaviors for launch angles $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ as shown in the figure. For $\alpha_1$,$r(x)$ keeps increasing with $x$,while for $\alpha_2$,$r(x)$ increases and reaches a maximum,then decreases and goes through a minimum before increasing again. The switch between these two cases takes place at a critical angle $\alpha_c$ (where $\alpha_1 < \alpha_c < \alpha_2$). The value of $\alpha_c$ is (where $v_0$ is the initial speed of the projectile and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity).
