Shots are fired from the top of a tower and from its bottom simultaneously at angles $30^o$ and $60^o$ as shown. If the horizontal distance of the point of collision is at a distance $a$ from the tower,then the height of the tower $h$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{2a}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • B
    $\frac{a}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • C
    $2a$
  • D
    $\frac{4a}{\sqrt{3}}$

$A$ bowling machine placed at a height $h$ above the earth's surface releases different balls with different angles but with the same velocity $10 \sqrt{3} \text{ m s}^{-1}$. All these balls' landing velocities make angles of $30^{\circ}$ or more with the horizontal. Find the height $h$ (in meters) (acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \text{ m s}^{-2}$).

$A$ ball of mass $0.2 \ kg$ is thrown from a height of $1 \ m$ with an initial velocity of $\sqrt{10} \ m/s$ at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. Assuming acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$,the modulus of the momentum increment during the total time of motion in $kg \cdot m/s$ is:
