$A$ boy throws a ball with a velocity $V_0$ at an angle $\alpha$ to the ground. At the same time,he starts running with a uniform velocity to catch the ball before it hits the ground. To achieve this,he should run with a velocity of

  • A
    $V_0 \cos \alpha$
  • B
    $V_0 \sin \alpha$
  • C
    $V_0 \tan \alpha$
  • D
    $\sqrt{V_0^2 \tan \alpha}$

$A$ particle is moving with velocity $\vec v = K(y\hat i + x\hat j)$ where $K$ is a constant. The general equation for its path is

Two identical discs of same radius $R$ are rotating about their axes in opposite directions with the same constant angular speed $\omega$. The discs are in the same horizontal plane. At time $t=0$,the points $P$ and $Q$ are facing each other as shown in the figure. The relative speed between the two points $P$ and $Q$ as a function of time is best represented by:

At a given instant of time,two particles have position vectors $4 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} + 57 \hat{k} \ m$ and $2 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k} \ m$ respectively. If the velocity of the first particle is $0.4 \hat{i} \ ms^{-1}$,what is the velocity of the second particle in $ms^{-1}$ if they collide after $10 \ s$?

If at any point on the path of a projectile its velocity is $u$ at an inclination $\alpha$ to the horizontal,then after what time will it move at right angles to its former direction?
