There are two points $P$ and $Q$ on a projectile path with velocities $v_P$ and $v_Q$ respectively,such that $v_P$ is perpendicular to $v_Q$. If $\alpha$ is the angle that $v_P$ makes with the horizontal at point $P$,find the correct option.

  • A
    $\tan \alpha = \frac{v_Q}{v_P}$
  • B
    $\cos \alpha = \frac{v_Q}{v_P}$
  • C
    $\sec \alpha = \frac{v_Q}{v_P}$
  • D
    $\cot \alpha = \frac{v_Q}{v_P}$

Two projectiles are thrown simultaneously in the same plane from the same point. If their velocities are $v_1$ and $v_2$ at angles $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$ respectively from the horizontal,then the trajectory of particle $1$ with respect to particle $2$ will be:

$A$ particle starts from the origin at $t=0$ with a velocity $5 \hat{i} \text{ m/s}$ and moves in the $x-y$ plane under the action of a force which produces a constant acceleration of $(3 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j}) \text{ m/s}^2$. If the $x$-coordinate of the particle at that instant is $84 \text{ m}$,then the speed of the particle at this time is $\sqrt{\alpha} \text{ m/s}$. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . .

$A$ particle $A$ moves along the line $y=30 \ m$ with a constant velocity $v$ parallel to the $x$-axis. At the moment particle $A$ passes the $y$-axis,a particle $B$ starts from the origin with zero initial speed and a constant acceleration $a=0.40 \ m/s^2$. The angle between $a$ and the $y$-axis is $60^{\circ}$. If the particles $A$ and $B$ collide after some time,then the value of $|v|$ will be (in $m/s$)
