Mix Examples-Motion in Plane Questions in English

(C) The initial velocity is $u = 100\,m/s$ at an angle $\theta = 53^{\circ}$.
Horizontal component: $u_x = u \cos 53^{\circ} = 100 \times 0.6 = 60\,m/s$.
Vertical component: $u_y = u \sin 53^{\circ} = 100 \times 0.8 = 80\,m/s$.
The horizontal component $v_x$ remains constant at $60\,m/s$ throughout the motion.
For the velocity vector to make an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal,the vertical component $v_y$ must satisfy $\tan 45^{\circ} = |v_y / v_x|$,which implies $|v_y| = v_x = 60\,m/s$.
Case $1$: $v_y = +60\,m/s$ (during ascent).
Using $v_y = u_y + a_y t_1$ with $a_y = -10\,m/s^2$:
$60 = 80 - 10 t_1 \implies 10 t_1 = 20 \implies t_1 = 2\,s$.
Case $2$: $v_y = -60\,m/s$ (during descent).
$-60 = 80 - 10 t_2 \implies 10 t_2 = 140 \implies t_2 = 14\,s$.
Thus,both $2\,s$ and $14\,s$ are possible times.

(A) The position vector is $\vec{r} = (t^2 - 4t + 6)\hat{i} + (t^2)\hat{j}$.
Velocity $\vec{v} = \frac{d\vec{r}}{dt} = (2t - 4)\hat{i} + (2t)\hat{j}$.
Acceleration $\vec{a} = \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt} = 2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j}$.
For the velocity and acceleration vectors to be perpendicular,their dot product must be zero: $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{v} = 0$.
$(2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j}) \cdot ((2t - 4)\hat{i} + 2t\hat{j}) = 0$.
$2(2t - 4) + 2(2t) = 0$.
$4t - 8 + 4t = 0$.
$8t = 8$.
$t = 1 \text{ sec}$.

(D) For the same range with the same speed,the angles of projection must be complementary,so $\theta _1 + \theta _2 = 90^\circ$,which implies $\theta _1 = 90^\circ - \theta _2$. This confirms option $A$.
The time of flight for a projectile is given by $t = \frac{2u \sin \theta}{g}$.
Thus,$t_1 = \frac{2u \sin \theta _1}{g}$ and $t_2 = \frac{2u \sin \theta _2}{g}$.
From these,$\frac{t_1}{\sin \theta _1} = \frac{2u}{g}$ and $\frac{t_2}{\sin \theta _2} = \frac{2u}{g}$.
Therefore,$\frac{t_1}{\sin \theta _1} = \frac{t_2}{\sin \theta _2}$,which confirms option $B$.
Since $\theta _2 = 90^\circ - \theta _1$,we have $\sin \theta _2 = \sin(90^\circ - \theta _1) = \cos \theta _1$.
Then,$\frac{t_1}{t_2} = \frac{\sin \theta _1}{\sin \theta _2} = \frac{\sin \theta _1}{\cos \theta _1} = \tan \theta _1$,which confirms option $C$.
Since all options are correct,the correct answer is $D$.

(A) In projectile motion,the only force acting on the projectile is gravity,which acts vertically downwards.
According to Newton's second law,the acceleration of the projectile is $\vec{a} = \vec{g}$,where $\vec{g}$ is the acceleration due to gravity.
The rate of change of velocity is defined as the acceleration,i.e.,$\frac{d\vec{v}}{dt} = \vec{a}$.
Therefore,the rate of change of velocity is $\vec{g}$.
The modulus (magnitude) of the rate of change of velocity is $|\frac{d\vec{v}}{dt}| = |\vec{g}| = g$.
Since $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity,which is constant throughout the motion,the modulus of the rate of change of velocity is constant.

(D) The final velocity $\vec{v}$ is given by the equation of motion: $\vec{v} = \vec{u} + \vec{a}t$.
Given $\vec{u} = (4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j})\,m/s$,$\vec{a} = (0.4\hat{i} + 0.3\hat{j})\,m/s^2$,and $t = 10\,s$.
Substituting the values:
$\vec{v} = (4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j}) + (0.4\hat{i} + 0.3\hat{j}) \times 10$
$\vec{v} = (4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j}) + (4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j})$
$\vec{v} = 8\hat{i} + 6\hat{j}\,m/s$.
The magnitude of the velocity is $|\vec{v}| = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$.
$|\vec{v}| = \sqrt{8^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{64 + 36} = \sqrt{100} = 10\,m/s$.

(A) The standard equation of a projectile trajectory is $y = x \tan \theta - \frac{g x^2}{2 u^2 \cos^2 \theta}$.
Comparing $y = x - \frac{x^2}{80}$ with the standard equation:
$(A)$ $\tan \theta = 1 \Rightarrow \theta = 45^{\circ}$. Thus, $(A \rightarrow r)$.
$(B)$ The horizontal range $R = 80 \, m$. Since $y = x(1 - x/80)$, $y=0$ at $x=0$ and $x=80 \, m$. The time of flight $T = \frac{2 u \sin \theta}{g}$. From $\frac{g}{2 u^2 \cos^2 \theta} = \frac{1}{80}$, we get $u^2 = \frac{80 \times 10}{2 \cos^2 45^{\circ}} = 800 \Rightarrow u = 20\sqrt{2} \, m/s$. $T = \frac{2 \times 20\sqrt{2} \times (1/\sqrt{2})}{10} = 4 \, s$. At $t=4 \, s$, the particle is at the ground, and the angle of velocity with the horizontal is $-45^{\circ}$ (or $45^{\circ}$ below horizontal). Given the options, $(B \rightarrow r)$ is the intended match.
$(C)$ Maximum height $H = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} = \frac{800 \times (1/2)}{20} = 20 \, m$. Thus, $(C \rightarrow p)$.
$(D)$ Horizontal range $R = 80 \, m$. Thus, $(D \rightarrow q)$.
Therefore, the correct match is $(A \rightarrow r, B \rightarrow r, C \rightarrow p, D \rightarrow q)$.

(B) The velocity vector $\vec{v}$ is the time derivative of the position vector $\vec{r}$:
$\vec{v} = \frac{d\vec{r}}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(-\cos t \hat{i} + \sin t \hat{j} - 18t \hat{k}) = \sin t \hat{i} + \cos t \hat{j} - 18 \hat{k}$
The acceleration vector $\vec{a}$ is the time derivative of the velocity vector $\vec{v}$:
$\vec{a} = \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(\sin t \hat{i} + \cos t \hat{j} - 18 \hat{k}) = \cos t \hat{i} - \sin t \hat{j}$
The magnitude of the acceleration is given by:
$|\vec{a}| = \sqrt{(\cos t)^2 + (-\sin t)^2} = \sqrt{\cos^2 t + \sin^2 t}$
Since $\sin^2 t + \cos^2 t = 1$,we get:
$|\vec{a}| = \sqrt{1} = 1$

(A) For a projectile motion:
$(A)$ Average velocity between initial and final points: The displacement is horizontal range $R = \frac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g}$ and time taken is $T = \frac{2u \sin \theta}{g}$. Average velocity $\vec{v}_{avg} = \frac{\vec{R}}{T} = \frac{u \cos \theta \hat{i} + 0 \hat{j}}{1} = u \cos \theta \hat{i}$. This matches $(q)$.
$(B)$ Change in velocity between initial and final points: Initial velocity $\vec{u}_i = u \cos \theta \hat{i} + u \sin \theta \hat{j}$. Final velocity $\vec{u}_f = u \cos \theta \hat{i} - u \sin \theta \hat{j}$. Change $\Delta \vec{v} = \vec{u}_f - \vec{u}_i = -2u \sin \theta \hat{j}$. This matches $(s)$.
$(C)$ Change in velocity between initial and highest points: Velocity at highest point $\vec{v}_h = u \cos \theta \hat{i}$. Change $\Delta \vec{v} = u \cos \theta \hat{i} - (u \cos \theta \hat{i} + u \sin \theta \hat{j}) = -u \sin \theta \hat{j}$. This matches $(s)$.
$(D)$ Average velocity between initial and highest points: Displacement $\vec{s} = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} \hat{j} + \frac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{4g} \hat{i}$. Time $t = \frac{u \sin \theta}{g}$. Average velocity $\vec{v}_{avg} = \frac{\vec{s}}{t} = \frac{u \cos \theta}{2} \hat{i} + \frac{u \sin \theta}{2} \hat{j}$. This is not in the options,so $(s)$ is the correct match for $D$ as well. However,checking the provided options,$(A \rightarrow q, B \rightarrow s, C \rightarrow s, D \rightarrow s)$ is not listed. Re-evaluating the question,if $C$ refers to the magnitude of vertical change,it might be $p$. Given the standard structure,option $(A)$ is the most logical fit.

(C) The average force $\vec{F}_{avg}$ is defined as the change in momentum divided by the time interval: $\vec{F}_{avg} = \frac{\Delta \vec{p}}{\Delta t}$.
Let the velocity at point $1$ be $\vec{v}_1$ and at point $2$ be $\vec{v}_2$. Since the speed is constant,$|\vec{v}_1| = |\vec{v}_2| = v$.
The angle between the velocity vectors is $\theta$. The change in momentum is $\Delta \vec{p} = m(\vec{v}_2 - \vec{v}_1)$.
The magnitude of the change in momentum is $|\Delta \vec{p}| = m \sqrt{v^2 + v^2 - 2v^2 \cos \theta} = m \sqrt{2v^2(1 - \cos \theta)} = m \sqrt{4v^2 \sin^2(\theta/2)} = 2mv \sin(\theta/2)$.
The distance traveled along the arc is $s = R\theta$. Since the speed $v$ is constant,the time taken is $\Delta t = \frac{s}{v} = \frac{R\theta}{v}$.
Therefore,the average force is $F_{avg} = \frac{|\Delta \vec{p}|}{\Delta t} = \frac{2mv \sin(\theta/2)}{R\theta/v} = \frac{2mv^2 \sin(\theta/2)}{R\theta}$.

(A) The formulas for range $R$ and maximum height $H$ are:
$R = \frac{2 u_x u_y}{g}$ and $H = \frac{u_y^2}{2g}$.
$(A)$ $u_x \rightarrow 2u_x, u_y \rightarrow u_y/2$: $R' = \frac{2(2u_x)(u_y/2)}{g} = R$. So, $A \rightarrow q$.
$(B)$ $u_y \rightarrow 2u_y, u_x \rightarrow u_x/2$: $R' = \frac{2(u_x/2)(2u_y)}{g} = R$. Also, $H' = \frac{(2u_y)^2}{2g} = 4H$. So, $B \rightarrow q, s$.
$(C)$ $u_x \rightarrow 2u_x, u_y \rightarrow 2u_y$: $R' = \frac{2(2u_x)(2u_y)}{g} = 4R$ $(r)$. $H' = \frac{(2u_y)^2}{2g} = 4H$ $(s)$. So, $C \rightarrow r, s$.
$(D)$ $u_y \rightarrow 2u_y$: $H' = \frac{(2u_y)^2}{2g} = 4H$ $(s)$. So, $D \rightarrow s$.
Matching: $A \rightarrow q$, $B \rightarrow q, s$, $C \rightarrow r, s$, $D \rightarrow s$. Option $(A)$ is the closest match given the provided choices.

(A) Let the two particles be $1$ and $2$. Both are projected horizontally with $u_1 = 10\,m/s$ (positive x-direction) and $u_2 = -10\,m/s$ (negative x-direction).
$(A)$ Relative acceleration: Both particles are under gravity,so $\vec{a}_1 = \vec{a}_2 = -g\hat{j}$. Thus,$\vec{a}_{rel} = \vec{a}_1 - \vec{a}_2 = 0$. Matches $(p)$.
$(B)$ Relative velocity: $\vec{v}_1 = (10\hat{i} - gt\hat{j})$ and $\vec{v}_2 = (-10\hat{i} - gt\hat{j})$. $\vec{v}_{rel} = \vec{v}_1 - \vec{v}_2 = 20\hat{i}$. Magnitude is $20\,m/s$. Matches $(s)$.
$(C)$ Horizontal distance: $x_1 = 10t$ and $x_2 = -10t$. Distance $d_x = |x_1 - x_2| = |10t - (-10t)| = 20t$. At $t=1\,s$,$d_x = 20\,m$. Matches $(s)$.
$(D)$ Vertical distance: $y_1 = -\frac{1}{2}gt^2$ and $y_2 = -\frac{1}{2}gt^2$. Distance $d_y = |y_1 - y_2| = 0$. Matches $(p)$.
Correct matching: $(A \rightarrow p, B \rightarrow s, C \rightarrow s, D \rightarrow p)$.

(B) The velocity component along the $X$-axis is given by $v_x = \frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(at^2) = 2at$.
The velocity component along the $Y$-axis is given by $v_y = \frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(bt^2) = 2bt$.
The speed $v$ of the particle is the magnitude of the velocity vector,given by $v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$.
Substituting the values,$v = \sqrt{(2at)^2 + (2bt)^2} = \sqrt{4a^2t^2 + 4b^2t^2} = \sqrt{4t^2(a^2 + b^2)}$.
Therefore,$v = 2t\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$.

(C) For a projectile with initial velocity $u$ and angle of projection $\theta$,the range $R$ is given by $R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g}$.
For the same range $R$,the two angles of projection are $\theta$ and $(90^\circ - \theta)$.
The time of flight $t$ is given by $t = \frac{2u \sin\theta}{g}$.
For the first angle $\theta$,$t_1 = \frac{2u \sin\theta}{g}$.
For the second angle $(90^\circ - \theta)$,$t_2 = \frac{2u \sin(90^\circ - \theta)}{g} = \frac{2u \cos\theta}{g}$.
The product of the times of flight is $t_1 t_2 = \left(\frac{2u \sin\theta}{g}\right) \left(\frac{2u \cos\theta}{g}\right) = \frac{4u^2 \sin\theta \cos\theta}{g^2}$.
Using the identity $\sin(2\theta) = 2 \sin\theta \cos\theta$,we get $t_1 t_2 = \frac{2u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g^2}$.
Since $R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g}$,we substitute this into the equation to get $t_1 t_2 = \frac{2R}{g}$.
Therefore,$t_1 t_2 \propto R$.

(A) The formula for the angle of banking in a horizontal circular turn is given by $\tan \theta = \frac{v^2}{rg}$.
Given values are speed $v = 150\, m/s$,angle $\theta = 12^\circ$,$g = 10\, m/s^2$,and $\tan 12^\circ = 0.2125$.
Substituting these values into the formula:
$0.2125 = \frac{(150)^2}{r \times 10}$
$0.2125 = \frac{22500}{10r}$
$0.2125 = \frac{2250}{r}$
$r = \frac{2250}{0.2125} \approx 10588.2\, m$.
Converting the radius into kilometers:
$r \approx 10.588\, km \approx 10.6\, km$.

(D) The angle with the vertical is $\theta$,so the angle with the horizontal is $\alpha = 90^\circ - \theta$.
Maximum height $H = \frac{v^2 \sin^2(90^\circ - \theta)}{2g} = \frac{v^2 \cos^2 \theta}{2g}$.
From this,we get $\frac{v \cos \theta}{g} = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}$.
The time of flight $T = \frac{2v \sin(90^\circ - \theta)}{g} = \frac{2v \cos \theta}{g}$.
Substituting the value of $\frac{v \cos \theta}{g}$ into the expression for $T$:
$T = 2 \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}} = \sqrt{4 \cdot \frac{2H}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{8H}{g}}$.

(A) In uniform circular motion,the speed of the particle remains constant,but the direction of motion changes continuously. Since velocity is a vector quantity,a change in direction implies a change in velocity.
Similarly,the centripetal acceleration is directed towards the center of the circle. As the particle moves,the direction of the center relative to the particle changes,so the direction of acceleration also changes.
The centripetal acceleration is given by the formula $a_c = \omega^2 r$,where $\omega$ is the angular velocity and $r$ is the radius of the circle. Thus,the $Reason$ is also correct and explains why the acceleration vector changes (as $\omega$ or the position changes).
Therefore,both $Assertion$ and $Reason$ are correct,and the $Reason$ explains the $Assertion$.

(C) Given: Initial velocity $\vec{u} = 3.0 \hat{i} \; m/s$,acceleration $\vec{a} = (6.0 \hat{i} + 4.0 \hat{j}) \; m/s^2$,and initial position $(0, 0)$ at $t=0$.
For motion in the $y$-direction:
$y = u_y t + \frac{1}{2} a_y t^2$
$32 = 0 \times t + \frac{1}{2} (4.0) t^2$
$32 = 2 t^2$
$t^2 = 16 \implies t = 4 \; s$.
For motion in the $x$-direction:
$x = u_x t + \frac{1}{2} a_x t^2$
$x = (3.0)(4) + \frac{1}{2} (6.0)(4)^2$
$x = 12 + 3.0 \times 16$
$x = 12 + 48 = 60 \; m$.
Thus,$D = 60$.

(N/A) This is an example of uniform circular motion. Here,radius $R = 12 \; cm$.
$(a)$ The angular speed $\omega$ is given by $\omega = 2 \pi \nu$,where $\nu = 7 / 100 \; Hz$.
$\omega = 2 \times 3.14 \times (7 / 100) = 0.44 \; rad/s$.
The linear speed $v$ is $v = \omega R = 0.44 \; rad/s \times 12 \; cm = 5.28 \; cm/s \approx 5.3 \; cm/s$.
$(b)$ The acceleration vector is not a constant vector because its direction changes continuously as the insect moves along the circle,even though it always points towards the center (centripetal acceleration).
The magnitude of the acceleration is $a = \omega^2 R = (0.44 \; s^{-1})^2 \times 12 \; cm = 0.1936 \times 12 \; cm/s^2 = 2.3232 \; cm/s^2 \approx 2.3 \; cm/s^2$.

(N/A) Radius of the loop,$r = 1 \; km = 1000 \; m$.
Speed of the aircraft,$v = 900 \; km/h = 900 \times \frac{5}{18} = 250 \; m/s$.
Centripetal acceleration,$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$.
$a_c = \frac{(250)^2}{1000} = \frac{62500}{1000} = 62.5 \; m/s^2$.
Acceleration due to gravity,$g = 9.8 \; m/s^2$.
Comparing the two,$\frac{a_c}{g} = \frac{62.5}{9.8} \approx 6.38$.
Therefore,the centripetal acceleration is $6.38$ times the acceleration due to gravity,i.e.,$a_c = 6.38 \; g$.

(B, C) False: The net acceleration of a particle in circular motion is not always directed along the radius of the circle toward the centre. This is only true for uniform circular motion. In non-uniform circular motion,there is also a tangential component of acceleration.
$(b)$ True: At any point on a curved path,the instantaneous velocity is directed along the tangent to the path at that point.
$(c)$ True: In uniform circular motion $(UCM)$,the acceleration vector is the centripetal acceleration,which always points toward the centre. As the particle moves,the direction of this vector changes continuously. The vector sum of these centripetal acceleration vectors over one complete cycle is zero,making the average acceleration a null vector.

(B) The horizontal range $R$ of a projectile is given by the formula: $R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g}$,where $u$ is the muzzle speed,$\theta$ is the angle of projection,and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.
Given: $R_1 = 3.0 \; km$ at $\theta_1 = 30^{\circ}$.
Substituting these values: $3.0 = \frac{u^2 \sin(60^{\circ})}{g} = \frac{u^2}{g} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$.
Thus,$\frac{u^2}{g} = \frac{3.0 \times 2}{\sqrt{3}} = 2\sqrt{3} \approx 3.464 \; km$.
The maximum range $R_{\text{max}}$ for a fixed muzzle speed $u$ occurs at $\theta = 45^{\circ}$,where $R_{\text{max}} = \frac{u^2}{g}$.
Substituting the value of $\frac{u^2}{g}$: $R_{\text{max}} = 2\sqrt{3} \approx 3.464 \; km$.
Since the maximum possible range is approximately $3.46 \; km$,it is impossible to hit a target at $5.0 \; km$ by only adjusting the angle of projection.

(D) Height of the fighter plane $h = 1.5 \; km = 1500 \; m$.
Speed of the fighter plane $v = 720 \; km/h = 720 \times (5/18) \; m/s = 200 \; m/s$.
Let $\theta$ be the angle with the vertical so that the shell hits the plane.
Muzzle velocity of the gun $u = 600 \; m/s$.
Let $t$ be the time taken by the shell to hit the plane.
Horizontal distance travelled by the shell $= (u \sin \theta) t$.
Horizontal distance travelled by the plane $= v t$.
For the shell to hit the plane,the horizontal distances must be equal:
$(u \sin \theta) t = v t \implies \sin \theta = v/u$.
$\sin \theta = 200 / 600 = 1/3 \approx 0.333$.
$\theta = \sin^{-1}(0.333) \approx 19.5^o$.
To avoid being hit,the pilot must fly at an altitude $H$ higher than the maximum height reached by the shell.
The vertical component of the shell's velocity is $u_y = u \cos \theta = 600 \cos(19.5^o) \approx 600 \times 0.9426 \approx 565.56 \; m/s$.
The maximum height $H$ reached by the shell is $H = u_y^2 / (2g) = (565.56)^2 / (2 \times 10) = 319858 / 20 \approx 15992.9 \; m \approx 16 \; km$.

(N/A) Let $v_{0x}$ and $v_{0y}$ be the initial components of the velocity of the projectile along the horizontal $(x)$ and vertical $(y)$ directions,respectively.
Let $v_x$ and $v_y$ be the horizontal and vertical components of velocity at any time $t$.
Using the first equation of motion:
$v_x = v_{0x}$
$v_y = v_{0y} - gt$
The angle $\theta$ with the $x$-axis is given by:
$\tan \theta = \frac{v_y}{v_x} = \frac{v_{0y} - gt}{v_{0x}}$
$\theta(t) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{v_{0y} - gt}{v_{0x}}\right)$
For a projectile launched with initial velocity $u_0$ at angle $\theta_0$:
Maximum height $h_m = \frac{u_0^2 \sin^2 \theta_0}{2g} \quad (i)$
Horizontal range $R = \frac{u_0^2 \sin(2\theta_0)}{g} = \frac{2u_0^2 \sin \theta_0 \cos \theta_0}{g} \quad (ii)$
Dividing equation $(i)$ by $(ii)$:
$\frac{h_m}{R} = \frac{u_0^2 \sin^2 \theta_0}{2g} \times \frac{g}{2u_0^2 \sin \theta_0 \cos \theta_0}$
$\frac{h_m}{R} = \frac{\sin \theta_0}{4 \cos \theta_0} = \frac{1}{4} \tan \theta_0$
Therefore,$\tan \theta_0 = \frac{4h_m}{R}$
$\theta_0 = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{4h_m}{R}\right)$

(N/A) Given:
Initial velocity of the truck,$u = 0$
Acceleration of the truck,$a = 2.0 \; m s^{-2}$
Time at which the stone is dropped,$t = 10 \; s$
$(a)$ Velocity of the stone at $t = 11 \; s$:
At $t = 10 \; s$,the velocity of the truck is $v = u + at = 0 + 2.0 \times 10 = 20 \; m s^{-1}$.
When the stone is dropped,it possesses this horizontal velocity $v_x = 20 \; m s^{-1}$.
In the vertical direction,the stone starts from rest $(u_y = 0)$ and accelerates due to gravity $(g = 10 \; m s^{-2})$. After $\Delta t = 11 - 10 = 1 \; s$,the vertical velocity is $v_y = u_y + g \Delta t = 0 + 10 \times 1 = 10 \; m s^{-1}$.
The resultant velocity $v$ is $\sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2} = \sqrt{20^2 + 10^2} = \sqrt{400 + 100} = \sqrt{500} \approx 22.36 \; m s^{-1}$.
The angle $\theta$ with the horizontal is $\tan \theta = \frac{v_y}{v_x} = \frac{10}{20} = 0.5$,so $\theta = \tan^{-1}(0.5) \approx 26.57^{\circ}$.
$(b)$ Acceleration of the stone at $t = 11 \; s$:
Once the stone is dropped,it is no longer in contact with the truck. The only force acting on it is gravity. Therefore,its acceleration is $g = 10 \; m s^{-2}$ acting vertically downwards.

(B) Option $(b)$ is correct.
According to Newton's First Law of Motion,an object in motion will continue to move in a straight line at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
In uniform circular motion,the velocity vector of the particle at any instant is directed along the tangent to the circular path at that point.
When the string breaks,the centripetal force that was keeping the stone in circular motion vanishes.
Consequently,the stone continues to move in the direction of its instantaneous velocity,which is tangential to the circle at the point where the string broke.

(B) Let the horizontal distance covered be $x = 600\, m$ and the vertical distance covered be $y = 600\, m$.
The angle of projection $\theta$ with the horizontal runway is given by the relation $\tan \theta = \frac{y}{x}$.
Substituting the given values,we get $\tan \theta = \frac{600}{600} = 1$.
Since $\tan \theta = 1$,we have $\theta = \tan^{-1}(1) = 45^{\circ}$.
Therefore,the angle $\theta$ is $45^{\circ}$.

(N/A) $1$. Time taken to reach maximum height $(t_m)$:
At maximum height,the vertical component of velocity $(v_y)$ is zero.
Using the equation $v_y = v_0 \sin \theta_0 - gt$,where $v_y = 0$ at $t = t_m$:
$0 = v_0 \sin \theta_0 - gt_m$
$t_m = \frac{v_0 \sin \theta_0}{g}$
$2$. Total time of flight $(T_f)$:
The total time of flight is the time taken to return to the ground $(y = 0)$.
Using the displacement equation $y = (v_0 \sin \theta_0)t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$:
$0 = (v_0 \sin \theta_0)T_f - \frac{1}{2}gT_f^2$
$T_f = \frac{2v_0 \sin \theta_0}{g}$
$3$. Maximum height $(H)$:
At maximum height,$t = t_m = \frac{v_0 \sin \theta_0}{g}$.
Substituting this into the vertical displacement equation:
$H = (v_0 \sin \theta_0)t_m - \frac{1}{2}gt_m^2$
$H = (v_0 \sin \theta_0) \left( \frac{v_0 \sin \theta_0}{g} \right) - \frac{1}{2}g \left( \frac{v_0 \sin \theta_0}{g} \right)^2$
$H = \frac{v_0^2 \sin^2 \theta_0}{g} - \frac{v_0^2 \sin^2 \theta_0}{2g}$
$H = \frac{v_0^2 \sin^2 \theta_0}{2g}$

(B) The formula for the maximum height $H$ of a projectile is given by $H = \frac{v_0^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g}$.
For the first angle $\theta_1 = 30^\circ$,the height is $H_1 = \frac{v_0^2 \sin^2 30^\circ}{2g}$.
For the second angle $\theta_2 = 60^\circ$,the height is $H_2 = \frac{v_0^2 \sin^2 60^\circ}{2g}$.
The ratio of the heights is $\frac{H_2}{H_1} = \frac{\sin^2 60^\circ}{\sin^2 30^\circ}$.
Substituting the values,$\frac{H_2}{H_1} = \frac{(\sqrt{3}/2)^2}{(1/2)^2} = \frac{3/4}{1/4} = 3$.
Therefore,the ratio is $3:1$.

(N/A) $(i)$ The gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the Earth provides the necessary centripetal force:
$\frac{G M_e M_s}{r^2} = \frac{M_e v^2}{r}$
$(ii)$ The electrostatic force of attraction between the nucleus and the electron provides the centripetal force:
$\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{(Ze)(e)}{r^2} = \frac{m_e v^2}{r}$
$(iii)$ The static frictional force between the road surface and the tires of the vehicle provides the centripetal force:
$\mu_s N = \frac{m v^2}{r}$

(N/A) Due to air resistance,the energy and velocity of the particle continuously decrease,making the fall steeper,as shown in the figure.
When we neglect air resistance,the path is a symmetric parabola $(OAB)$.
When air resistance is considered,the path becomes an asymmetric parabola $(OAC)$,where the descent is steeper than the ascent.

(D) Given: Speed of packets $u = 125 \, m/s$,Height of hill $h = 500 \, m$,Acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \, m/s^2$.
To just clear the hill,the vertical component of velocity $u_y$ must satisfy $u_y^2 = 2gh$.
$u_y = \sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 500} = 100 \, m/s$.
The horizontal component of velocity is $u_x = \sqrt{u^2 - u_y^2} = \sqrt{125^2 - 100^2} = \sqrt{15625 - 10000} = \sqrt{5625} = 75 \, m/s$.
Time taken to reach the top of the hill is $t_1 = u_y / g = 100 / 10 = 10 \, s$.
Time taken to fall from the top to the ground is $t_2 = \sqrt{2h/g} = \sqrt{2 \times 500 / 10} = 10 \, s$.
Total time of flight $T = t_1 + t_2 = 10 + 10 = 20 \, s$.
Horizontal distance covered by the packet during flight is $x = u_x \times T = 75 \times 20 = 1500 \, m$.
Since the cannon is initially $800 \, m$ from the hill,and the packet travels $1500 \, m$ horizontally,the cannon must be moved to a position such that the packet lands just on the other side of the hill.
The required horizontal distance from the hill is $x_{req} = 1500 \, m$.
The cannon is currently $800 \, m$ away. To minimize time,we move the cannon towards the hill. The distance to move is $d = 800 - (1500 - 800) = 100 \, m$ (if we consider the landing point relative to the hill).
Actually,the cannon must be at a distance $x_{req} = 1500 \, m$ from the landing point. Since it is $800 \, m$ from the hill,it needs to be moved $700 \, m$ closer to the hill.
Time to move $t_{move} = 700 / 2 = 350 \, s$.
Total time $= t_{move} + T = 350 + 20 = 370 \, s$.

(N/A) Given $\hat{r} = \cos \theta \hat{i} + \sin \theta \hat{j}$ $(i)$ and $\hat{\theta} = -\sin \theta \hat{i} + \cos \theta \hat{j}$ (ii).
Multiplying $(i)$ by $\cos \theta$ and (ii) by $\sin \theta$ and subtracting: $\hat{r} \cos \theta - \hat{\theta} \sin \theta = (\cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta) \hat{i} = \hat{i}$.
Multiplying $(i)$ by $\sin \theta$ and (ii) by $\cos \theta$ and adding: $\hat{r} \sin \theta + \hat{\theta} \cos \theta = (\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta) \hat{j} = \hat{j}$.
$(b)$ $|\hat{r}| = \sqrt{\cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta} = 1$ and $|\hat{\theta}| = \sqrt{(-\sin \theta)^2 + \cos^2 \theta} = 1$. Both are unit vectors.
$\hat{r} \cdot \hat{\theta} = (\cos \theta)(-\sin \theta) + (\sin \theta)(\cos \theta) = 0$. Thus,they are perpendicular.
$(c)$ $\frac{d\hat{r}}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(\cos \theta \hat{i} + \sin \theta \hat{j}) = -\sin \theta \frac{d\theta}{dt} \hat{i} + \cos \theta \frac{d\theta}{dt} \hat{j} = \omega(-\sin \theta \hat{i} + \cos \theta \hat{j}) = \omega \hat{\theta}$.
Similarly,$\frac{d\hat{\theta}}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(-\sin \theta \hat{i} + \cos \theta \hat{j}) = -\cos \theta \frac{d\theta}{dt} \hat{i} - \sin \theta \frac{d\theta}{dt} \hat{j} = -\omega(\cos \theta \hat{i} + \sin \theta \hat{j}) = -\omega \hat{r}$.
$(d)$ Given $\vec{r} = a\theta \hat{r}$. Since $\theta$ is dimensionless,$[r] = [a]$. Thus,$a$ has dimensions of length $[L]$.
$(e)$ $\vec{v} = \frac{d\vec{r}}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(a\theta \hat{r}) = a\dot{\theta}\hat{r} + a\theta\dot{\hat{r}} = a\omega\hat{r} + a\theta\omega\hat{\theta}$.
$\vec{a} = \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt} = a\dot{\omega}\hat{r} + a\omega\dot{\hat{r}} + a\dot{\theta}\omega\hat{\theta} + a\theta\dot{\omega}\hat{\theta} + a\theta\omega\dot{\hat{\theta}} = a\dot{\omega}\hat{r} + a\omega^2\hat{\theta} + a\omega^2\hat{\theta} + a\theta\dot{\omega}\hat{\theta} - a\theta\omega^2\hat{r} = (a\dot{\omega} - a\theta\omega^2)\hat{r} + (2a\omega^2 + a\theta\dot{\omega})\hat{\theta}$.

(C) The total distance from $A$ to $C$ is along the diagonal of the $100\, m \times 100\, m$ square. The diagonal length is $100\sqrt{2}\, m$. The central sand square has side $50\, m$,so its diagonal is $50\sqrt{2}\, m$. The distance outside the sand along the diagonal is $100\sqrt{2} - 50\sqrt{2} = 50\sqrt{2}\, m$.
Time taken through the sand path $T_{\text{sand}} = \frac{50\sqrt{2}}{1} + \frac{50\sqrt{2}}{v} = 50\sqrt{2}(1 + \frac{1}{v})$.
The shortest path outside the sand is along the boundary of the sand square. The distance from $A$ to the corner of the sand square is $\sqrt{25^2 + 75^2} = \sqrt{625 + 5625} = \sqrt{6250} = 25\sqrt{10}\, m$.
Total distance outside is $2 \times 25\sqrt{10} = 50\sqrt{10}\, m$.
Time taken $T_{\text{outside}} = \frac{50\sqrt{10}}{1} = 50\sqrt{10}\, s$.
For the sand path to be faster,$T_{\text{sand}} < T_{\text{outside}}$.
$50\sqrt{2}(1 + \frac{1}{v}) < 50\sqrt{10} \implies 1 + \frac{1}{v} < \sqrt{5} \implies \frac{1}{v} < \sqrt{5} - 1$.
$v > \frac{1}{\sqrt{5} - 1} = \frac{\sqrt{5} + 1}{4} \approx 0.809$.
Given the options,the question implies a comparison with the path along the boundary. Re-evaluating the path $A \to P \to R \to C$ where $P, R$ are corners of the sand square: $AP = \sqrt{25^2 + 25^2} = 25\sqrt{2}$,$PR = 50$,$RC = 25\sqrt{2}$.
$T = \frac{25\sqrt{2} + 25\sqrt{2}}{1} + \frac{50}{v} = 50\sqrt{2} + \frac{50}{v}$.
Setting $50\sqrt{2} + \frac{50}{v} < 50\sqrt{10} \implies \sqrt{2} + \frac{1}{v} < \sqrt{10} \implies \frac{1}{v} < \sqrt{10} - \sqrt{2} \approx 1.74$.
$v > 0.57$. The closest value is $1/\sqrt{2} \approx 0.707$.

(A) Since $\overrightarrow A \cdot \overrightarrow B = |A||B| \cos \theta = AB \cos \theta$,given $AB \cos \theta = AB$,we have $\cos \theta = 1$,so $\theta = 0^\circ$.
$(b)$ At maximum height,the vertical component of velocity becomes zero,so the velocity is only the horizontal component,which is $u \cos \theta$.
$(c)$ The projection of a vector $\vec{V} = x\widehat i + y\widehat j + z\widehat k$ on the $y$-axis is the $y$-component,which is $-2$.

(N/A) The horizontal range $R$ of a projectile is given by $R = \frac{v^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g}$. For $R$ to be maximum,$\sin(2\theta) = 1$,which implies $2\theta = 90^{\circ}$,so $\theta = 45^{\circ}$.
$(b)$ For uniform circular motion,the acceleration is centripetal (directed towards the center) and the velocity is tangential. The angle between the tangent and the radius at the point of contact is $90^{\circ}$.
$(c)$ The magnitude of vector $\overrightarrow{A} = 4\widehat{i} + 3\widehat{j}$ is $|\overrightarrow{A}| = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5$.

(A) $\vec{A} - \vec{B} = (3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j}) - (\hat{i} + \hat{j} - 2\hat{k}) = 2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}$. The $y$-component is $1$.
$(b)$ For vertical projection,the time of flight $T = \frac{2u}{g}$.
$(c)$ The centripetal acceleration $a_c = R\omega^2$.
$(d)$ The component of any vector is always a scalar.

(C) False. The time of flight is given by $T = \frac{2 u \sin \theta}{g}$. It depends on the vertical component of the initial velocity $(u \sin \theta)$ and the acceleration due to gravity $(g)$.
$(b)$ False. Throughout the motion,the acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ remains constant and acts downwards. Therefore,even at the maximum height,the acceleration is $g$ (not zero).
$(c)$ True. The horizontal range is given by $R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2 \theta)}{g}$. The maximum range occurs when $\theta = 45^{\circ}$,thus it depends on the angle of projection.

(C) False. In uniform circular motion,the magnitude of linear velocity is constant,but its direction changes continuously.
$(b)$ False. The velocity vector is perpendicular to the acceleration vector only at the highest point of the trajectory.
$(c)$ True. For maximum range,the angle of projection $\theta = 45^{\circ}$. The maximum height $H = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 45^{\circ}}{2g} = \frac{u^2}{4g}$. The range $R = \frac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g} = \frac{u^2}{g}$. Thus,$H = \frac{R}{4}$.
$(d)$ False. If $|\vec{A} \times \vec{B}| = AB$,then $AB \sin \theta = AB$,which implies $\sin \theta = 1$,so $\theta = 90^{\circ}$.

(D) From figure $(a)$,the $(x, t)$ graph is a straight line passing through the origin,indicating constant velocity in the $x$-direction.
$v_x = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{2 - 0}{2 - 0} = 1 \, m/s$.
Since the velocity is constant,the acceleration in the $x$-direction is $a_x = 0$.
From figure $(b)$,the $(y, t)$ graph is a parabola passing through the origin,which follows the relation $y = kt^2$. At $t = 2 \, s$,$y = 4 \, m$,so $4 = k(2)^2$,which gives $k = 1$. Thus,$y = t^2$.
The velocity in the $y$-direction is $v_y = \frac{dy}{dt} = 2t$.
The acceleration in the $y$-direction is $a_y = \frac{dv_y}{dt} = 2 \, m/s^2$.
The mass of the particle is $m = 500 \, g = 0.5 \, kg$.
The force components are:
$F_x = m a_x = 0.5 \times 0 = 0 \, N$.
$F_y = m a_y = 0.5 \times 2 = 1 \, N$.
The magnitude of the resultant force is $F = \sqrt{F_x^2 + F_y^2} = \sqrt{0^2 + 1^2} = 1 \, N$.
The direction of the force is along the positive $y$-axis.

(N/A) Given displacement vector: $\vec{r}(t) = (A \cos \omega t) \hat{i} + (B \sin \omega t) \hat{j}$.
$(a)$ Comparing with $\vec{r} = x \hat{i} + y \hat{j}$,we get $x = A \cos \omega t$ and $y = B \sin \omega t$.
Thus,$\frac{x}{A} = \cos \omega t$ and $\frac{y}{B} = \sin \omega t$.
Using the identity $\cos^2 \omega t + \sin^2 \omega t = 1$,we get $(\frac{x}{A})^2 + (\frac{y}{B})^2 = 1$,which is the equation of an ellipse.
$(b)$ The velocity $\vec{v} = \frac{d\vec{r}}{dt} = -A \omega \sin \omega t \hat{i} + B \omega \cos \omega t \hat{j}$.
The acceleration $\vec{a} = \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt} = -A \omega^2 \cos \omega t \hat{i} - B \omega^2 \sin \omega t \hat{j}$.
Factoring out $-\omega^2$,we get $\vec{a} = -\omega^2 (A \cos \omega t \hat{i} + B \sin \omega t \hat{j}) = -\omega^2 \vec{r}$.
Since $\vec{F} = m\vec{a}$,we have $\vec{F} = -m \omega^2 \vec{r}$.

(B) No,the linear velocity will not be constant.
Although the angular speed is constant,the direction of the axis of rotation is not fixed.
Since the linear velocity $\vec{v} = \vec{\omega} \times \vec{r}$,and the direction of the angular velocity vector $\vec{\omega}$ changes as the axis of rotation changes,the direction of the linear velocity $\vec{v}$ will also change.
Therefore,the linear velocity is not constant.

(C) Given: Initial velocity $\vec{u} = 5 \hat{j} \, m/s$,acceleration $\vec{a} = 10 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} \, m/s^2$,and initial position $(x_0, y_0) = (0, 0)$.
The position vector at time $t$ is given by $\vec{r} = \vec{u}t + \frac{1}{2} \vec{a}t^2$.
For the $x$-coordinate:
$x = u_x t + \frac{1}{2} a_x t^2$
$20 = 0 \cdot t + \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot t^2$
$20 = 5t^2 \implies t^2 = 4 \implies t = 2 \, s$.
For the $y$-coordinate:
$y = u_y t + \frac{1}{2} a_y t^2$
$y_0 = 5 \cdot t + \frac{1}{2} \cdot 4 \cdot t^2$
Substituting $t = 2 \, s$:
$y_0 = 5(2) + 2(2^2) = 10 + 8 = 18 \, m$.
Thus,$t = 2 \, s$ and $y_0 = 18 \, m$.

(C) Given force $\overrightarrow{F} = m\overrightarrow{a} = k(v_y \hat{i} + v_x \hat{j})$.
Thus,$a_x = \frac{dv_x}{dt} = \frac{k}{m} v_y$ and $a_y = \frac{dv_y}{dt} = \frac{k}{m} v_x$.
Dividing the two equations: $\frac{dv_y}{dv_x} = \frac{v_x}{v_y} \implies v_y dv_y = v_x dv_x$.
Integrating both sides: $\int v_y dv_y = \int v_x dv_x \implies v_y^2 = v_x^2 + C \implies v_y^2 - v_x^2 = \text{constant}$.
Now,calculate $\overrightarrow{v} \times \overrightarrow{a}$:
$\overrightarrow{v} \times \overrightarrow{a} = (v_x \hat{i} + v_y \hat{j}) \times \frac{k}{m}(v_y \hat{i} + v_x \hat{j})$
$= \frac{k}{m} [v_x^2 (\hat{i} \times \hat{j}) + v_y^2 (\hat{j} \times \hat{i})]$
$= \frac{k}{m} [v_x^2 \hat{k} - v_y^2 \hat{k}] = \frac{k}{m} (v_x^2 - v_y^2) \hat{k}$.
Since $v_y^2 - v_x^2$ is constant,$\overrightarrow{v} \times \overrightarrow{a}$ is constant in time.

(B) The angular momentum of a particle is given by $\vec{L} = \vec{r} \times \vec{p} = \vec{r} \times m\vec{v}$.
At the highest point,the velocity of the projectile is purely horizontal,given by $v_x = v \cos \theta$.
The horizontal distance (range) at the highest point is $x = R/2 = \frac{v^2 \sin \theta \cos \theta}{g}$.
The vertical height at the highest point is $H = \frac{v^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g}$.
The angular momentum about the point of projection is $L = m v_x H = m (v \cos \theta) \left( \frac{v^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} \right) = \frac{m v^3 \sin^2 \theta \cos \theta}{2g}$.
Given: $m = 0.16 \, kg$,$v = 10 \, m/s$,$\theta = 60^{\circ}$,$g = 10 \, m/s^2$.
$L = \frac{0.16 \times (10)^3 \times \sin^2 60^{\circ} \times \cos 60^{\circ}}{2 \times 10}$.
$L = \frac{0.16 \times 1000 \times (3/4) \times (1/2)}{20} = \frac{160 \times 0.375}{20} = 8 \times 0.375 = 3.0 \, kg \cdot m^2/s$.

(A) Given: Radius $R = 1\,m$,speed $v = 4\,m/s$,time $t = 1\,s$.
Angular velocity $\omega = \frac{v}{R} = \frac{4}{1} = 4\,rad/s$.
Angle covered in time $t$ is $\theta = \omega t = 4 \times 1 = 4\,rad$.
$(A)$ Displacement $= 2R \sin(\frac{\theta}{2}) = 2(1) \sin(\frac{4}{2}) = 2 \sin 2\,m$. Matches $(r)$.
$(B)$ Distance $= v \times t = 4 \times 1 = 4\,m$. Matches $(q)$.
$(C)$ Average velocity $= \frac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{2 \sin 2}{1} = 2 \sin 2\,m/s$. Matches $(r)$.
$(D)$ Average acceleration $= \frac{|\Delta \vec{v}|}{\Delta t}$. The magnitude of change in velocity is $|\Delta \vec{v}| = 2v \sin(\frac{\theta}{2}) = 2(4) \sin(\frac{4}{2}) = 8 \sin 2\,m/s^2$. Matches $(p)$.
Thus,the correct matching is $(A \rightarrow r, B \rightarrow q, C \rightarrow r, D \rightarrow p)$.

(A) The maximum range $R$ of projectile motion is given by:
$R = \frac{u^{2} \sin 2\theta}{g} = \frac{2u^{2} \sin\theta \cos\theta}{g}$
The time of flight $T$ of projectile motion is given by:
$T = \frac{2u \sin\theta}{g}$
The square of the time of flight is:
$T^{2} = \left(\frac{2u \sin\theta}{g}\right)^{2} = \frac{4u^{2} \sin^{2}\theta}{g^{2}}$
The ratio of the maximum range to the square of the time of flight is:
$\frac{R}{T^{2}} = \frac{\frac{2u^{2} \sin\theta \cos\theta}{g}}{\frac{4u^{2} \sin^{2}\theta}{g^{2}}}$
Simplifying the expression:
$\frac{R}{T^{2}} = \left(\frac{2u^{2} \sin\theta \cos\theta}{g}\right) \times \left(\frac{g^{2}}{4u^{2} \sin^{2}\theta}\right) = \frac{g}{2} \cot\theta$
Note: If the question implies the maximum possible range for a given velocity (where $\theta = 45^{\circ}$),then $\cot 45^{\circ} = 1$,resulting in $\frac{g}{2}$.

(D) Given: Mass $m = 5\, g = 5 \times 10^{-3}\, kg$. Initial velocity $u = 5 \sqrt{2}\, m/s$ at an angle $\theta = 45^{\circ}$.
In projectile motion,the speed at the same horizontal level is the same,so the magnitude of final velocity $v = u = 5 \sqrt{2}\, m/s$.
The initial velocity vector is $\vec{u} = u \cos 45^{\circ} \hat{i} + u \sin 45^{\circ} \hat{j}$.
The final velocity vector at point $B$ is $\vec{v} = u \cos 45^{\circ} \hat{i} - u \sin 45^{\circ} \hat{j}$.
The change in momentum is $\Delta \vec{P} = m(\vec{v} - \vec{u}) = m(u \cos 45^{\circ} \hat{i} - u \sin 45^{\circ} \hat{j} - (u \cos 45^{\circ} \hat{i} + u \sin 45^{\circ} \hat{j}))$.
$\Delta \vec{P} = m(-2u \sin 45^{\circ} \hat{j}) = -2mu \sin 45^{\circ} \hat{j}$.
The magnitude is $|\Delta \vec{P}| = 2mu \sin 45^{\circ}$.
Substituting the values: $|\Delta \vec{P}| = 2 \times (5 \times 10^{-3}) \times (5 \sqrt{2}) \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 2 \times 5 \times 10^{-3} \times 5 = 50 \times 10^{-3} = 5 \times 10^{-2}\, kg \cdot m/s$.
Comparing with $x \times 10^{-2}$,we get $x = 5$.

(B) The horizontal range of a projectile is given by $R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g}$.
Since $\sin(2 \times 42^{\circ}) = \sin(84^{\circ})$ and $\sin(2 \times 48^{\circ}) = \sin(96^{\circ})$,and we know that $\sin(84^{\circ}) = \sin(180^{\circ} - 96^{\circ}) = \sin(96^{\circ})$,the ranges are equal: $R_{1} = R_{2}$.
The maximum height of a projectile is given by $H = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g}$.
Since $H$ is proportional to $\sin^2 \theta$,and $\sin(48^{\circ}) > \sin(42^{\circ})$,it follows that $H_{2} > H_{1}$,or $H_{1} < H_{2}$.
Therefore,the correct option is $R_{1} = R_{2}$ and $H_{1} < H_{2}$.

(D) At $t=4 \, s$,the velocity of the car (and thus the ball) in the horizontal direction is $v_x = u + at = 0 + 5 \times 4 = 20 \, m/s$.
After the ball is dropped,it is only under the influence of gravity.
At $t=6 \, s$,the time elapsed since the ball was dropped is $\Delta t = 6 - 4 = 2 \, s$.
The horizontal velocity remains constant: $v_x = 20 \, m/s$.
The vertical velocity at $\Delta t = 2 \, s$ is $v_y = u_y + g \Delta t = 0 + 10 \times 2 = 20 \, m/s$.
The resultant velocity is $v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2} = \sqrt{20^2 + 20^2} = 20 \sqrt{2} \, m/s$.
Since the ball is in free fall,its acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity,$a = g = 10 \, m/s^{2}$ downwards.
