1. Challenge: Two cars begin to move toward each 6. Challenge: A projectile launched from the ground
other simultaneously along a straight road. Car 1 explodes into three fragments of equal mass at the top
starts from point A at a speed v1; car 2 starts at point point of the trajectory. One of the fragments lands t
B at a speed v2. The acceleration of car 1 is a1; it is seconds after the explosion; two other fragments land
directed toward A. The acceleration of car 2 is a2; it simultaneously 2t seconds after the explosion. How high
is directed toward B. In the process of motion, the above the ground does the projectile explode?
cars meet twice; the time interval between the (Nopember 2011)
meetings is t. Find the distance between A and B. 7. Challenge: An inclined plane is placed on a horizontal
(September 2003) smooth surface. The plane is struck by an elastic ball
whose velocity is horizontal just before the impact. The

alight quick push as shown, resulting in equal initial 8. Challenge: A small ball is hung as shown on a string of

(January 2004) to the ball so that it hits the pivot point? (December
