  • A
    $2mv$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}mv$
  • C
    $mv$
  • D

Two bodies were thrown simultaneously from the origin: one straight up and the other at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ to the vertical. The initial velocity of each body is $10 \ m \ s^{-1}$. Neglecting air resistance,the distance between the two bodies after $t=2 \ s$ is (Use $g=10 \ m \ s^{-2}$):

If a particle of mass $m$ covers half of the horizontal circle with constant speed $v$,then the change in its kinetic energy is

In a circus,a performer throws an apple towards a hoop held at $45 \, m$ height by another performer standing on a high platform (see figure). The thrower aims for the hoop and throws the apple with a speed of $24 \, m/s$. At the exact moment that the thrower releases the apple,the other performer drops the hoop. The hoop falls straight down. At what height above the ground does the apple go through the hoop (in $, m$)?
