$A$ fighter plane,flying horizontally with a speed of $360 \text{ km/h}$ at an altitude of $500 \text{ m}$,drops a bomb for a target straight ahead of it on the ground. At what approximate distance ahead of the target should the bomb be dropped? Assume that acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$. Neglect air drag.

  • A
    $1000 \text{ m}$
  • B
    $50 \sqrt{5} \text{ m}$
  • C
    $500 \sqrt{5} \text{ m}$
  • D
    $866 \text{ m}$

$A$ ball projected at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal crosses two points at equal heights separated by a distance at times $2 \ s$ and $8 \ s$ respectively. The horizontal distance between the two points is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m/s^2$) (in $m$)

Two balls are projected with the same velocity but with different angles with the horizontal. Their ranges are equal. If the angle of projection of one is $30^{\circ}$ and its maximum height is $h$,then the maximum height of the other will be

$A$ particle aimed at a target,projected with an angle $15^{\circ}$ with the horizontal,is short of the target by $10 \ m$. If projected with an angle of $45^{\circ}$,it is away from the target by $15 \ m$. Then the angle of projection to hit the target is:

If the height of a projectile at a time of $2 \ s$ from the beginning of motion is $60 \ m$,then the time of flight of the projectile is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $s$)
