the instant) will receive the berry on his uniform?

from which it was dropped. Take g = 10 m/s²

rest. Find the retardation of the ball in sand assuming it to be uniform.
31. An elevator is descending with uniform acceleration. To measure the acceleration, a person in the elevator drops a
coin at the moment the elevator starts. The coin is 6 ft above the floor of the elevator at the time it is dropped. The
person observes that the coin strikes the floor in 1 second. Calculate from these data the acceleration of the
elevator.
32. A ball is thrown horizontally from a point 100 m above the ground with a speed of 20 m/s. Find
(a) the time it takes to reach the ground,
(b) the horizontal distance it travels before reaching the ground,
(c) the velocity (direction and magnitude) with which it strikes the ground.
33. A ball is thrown at a speed of 40 m/s at an angle of 60° with the horizontal. Find
(a) the maximum height reached and
(b) the range of the ball. Take g = 10 m/s².
34. In a soccer practice session the football is kept at the centre of the field 40 yards from the 10 ft high goal posts. A
goal is attempted by kicking the football at a speed of 64 ft/s at an angle of 45° to the horizontal. Will the ball
reach the goal post?
35. A popular game in Indian villages is goli which is played with small glass balls called golis. The goli of one player
is situated at a distance of 2.0 m from the goli of the second player. This second player has to project his goli by
keeping the thumb of the left hand at the place of his goli, holding the goli between his two middle fingers and
making the throw. If the projected goli hits the goli of the first player, the second player wins. If the height from
which the goli is projected is 19.6 cm from the ground and the goli is to be projected horizontally, with what speed
should it be projected so that it directly hits the stationary goli without falling on the ground earlier?
36. Figure shows a 11.7 ft wide ditch with the approach roads at an angle of 15° with the horizontal. With what
minimum speed, should a motorbike be moving on the road so that it safely crosses the ditch?
Assume that the length of the bike is 5 ft, and it leaves the road when the front part runs out of the approach road!
37. A person standing on the top of a cliff 171 ft high has to throw a packet to his friend standing on the ground 228 ft
horizontally away. If he throws the packet directly aiming at the friend with a speed of 15.0 ft/s, how short will the
packet fall?
38. A ball is projected from a point on the floor with a speed of 15 m/s at an angle of 60° with the horizontal. Will it
hit a vertical wall 5 m away from the point of projection and perpendicular to the plane of projection without
hitting the floor? Will the answer differ if the wall is 22 m away?
39. Find the average velocity of a projectile between the instants it crosses half the maximum height. It is projected
with a speed u at an angle θ with the horizontal.
40. A bomb is dropped from a plane flying horizontally with uniform speed. Show that the bomb will explode
vertically below the plane. Is the statement true if the plane flies with uniform speed but not horizontally?
41. A boy standing on on a long railroad car throws a ball straight upwards. The car is moving on the horizontal road
with an acceleration of 1 m/s² and the projection velocity in the vertical direction is 9.8 m/s. How far behind the
boy will the ball fall on the car?
42. A staircase contains three steps each 10 cm high and 20 cm wide (In figure). What should be the minimum
horizontal velocity of a ball rolling off the uppermost plane so as to hit directly the lowest plane?
43. A person is standing on a truck moving with a constant velocity of 14.7 m/s on a horizontal road. The man throws
a ball in such a way that it returns to the truck after the truck has moved 58.8 m. Find the speed and the angle of
projection (a) as seen from the truck, (b) as seen from the road.
44. The benches of a gallery in a cricket stadium are 1 m widę and 1 m high. A batsman strikes the ball at a level one
metre above the ground and hits a mammoth sixer. The ball starts at 35 m/s at an angle of 53° with the horizontal.
The benches are perpendicular to the plane of motion and the first bench is 110 m from the batsman. On which
bench will the ball hit?
45. A man is sitting on the shore of a river. He is in the line of a 1.0 m long boat and is 5.5 m away from the centre of
the boat. He wishes to throw an apple into the boat. If he can throw the apple only with a speed of 10 m/s, find the
minimum and maximum angles of projection for successful shot. Assume that the point of projection and the edge
of the boat are in the same horizontal level.
46. A river 400 m wide is flowing at a rate of 2.0 m/s. A boat is sailing at a velocity of 10 m/s with respect to the
water, in a direction perpendicular to the river.
(a) Find the time taken by the boat to reach the opposite bank.
(b) How far from the point directly opposite to the starting point does the boat reach the opposite bank?
47. A swimmer wishes to cross a 500 m wide river flowing at 5 km/h. His speed with respect to water is 3 km/h. –
(a) If he heads in a direction making an angle θ with the flow, find the time he takes to cross the river.
(b) Find the shortest possible time to cross the river.
48. Consider the situation of the previous problem. The man has to reach the other shore at the point directly opposite
to his starting point. If he reaches the other shore somewhere else, he has to walk down to this point. Find the
minimum distance that he has to walk.
43. An aeroplane has to go from a point A to another point B, 500 km away due 30° east of north. A wind is blowing
due north at a speed of 20 m/s. The air-speed of the plane is 150 m/s.
(a) Find the direction in which the pilot should head the plane to reach the point B.
(b) Find the time taken by the plane to go from A to B.
50. Two friends A and B are standing a distance x apart in an open field and wind is blowing from A to B. A beats a
drum and B hears the sound t1 time after he sees the event. A and B interchange their positions and the experiment
is repeated. This time B hears the drum t2 time after he sees the event. Calculate the velocity of sound in still air v
and the velocity of wind u. Neglect the time light takes in travelling between the friends.
51. Suppose A and B in the previous problem change their positions in such a way that the line joining them becomes
perpendicular to the direction of wind while maintaining the separation x. What will be the time lag B finds
between seeing and hearing the drum beating by A?
52. Six particles situated at the corners of a regular hexagon of side a move at a constant speed v. Each particle
maintains a direction towards the particle at the next corner. Calculate the time the particles will take to meet each
other.
