What is the ratio of the distance traveled by a body falling freely from rest in the first, second, and third seconds of its fall?
A body is released from the top of a tower of height h. It takes t sec to reach the ground. Where will be the ball after time t2 s.
At h/2 from the ground
At 3h/4 from the ground
At h/4 from the ground
Depends upon mass and volume of the body
A stone is projected from a horizontal plane. It attains maximum height ′H′ & strikes a stationary smooth wall & falls on the ground vertically below the maximum height. Assume the collision to be elastic, the height of the point on the wall where ball will strike is
(Elastic collision means that after colliding on a plane the perpendicular component of the velocity before collision gets reversed after the collision. Here vx is normal to plane)
None of these
- Zero
A body is thrown vertically upwards. If air resistance is to be taken into account, then the time during which the body rises is
Equal to the time of fall
Less than the time of fall
Greater than the time of fall
Twice the time of fall
If a hole is bored along the diameter of the earth and a stone is dropped into hole
The stone reaches the other side of the earth and escapes into space
The stone reaches the centre of the earth and stops there
The stone reaches the other side of the earth and stops there
The stone executes simple harmonic motion about the centre of the earth
The distance through which a body falls in nth second is h. The distance through which it falls in the next second is
h
h+g/2
h-g
h+g
A lamp is ft. above the ground. A ball is dropped from the same height from a point ft. away from the light pole. If ball falls a distance ft. in seconds, then the speed of the shadow of the ball moving along the ground s later is
certainly miss the target
pass above the target
pass below the target
hit the target
A boy throws up a ball in a stationary lift and the ball returns to his hands in 10 s. Now if the lift starts moving up at a speed of 5 m/s. The time taken for a ball thrown straight up to return to his hands is:
more than 10 s
insufficient information given
less than 10 s
equal to 10 s
At what angle should a ball be projected up an inclined plane with a velocity so that it may hit the incline normally. The angle of the inclined plane with the horizontal is α.
- 7.5 m/sec at 60∘ clockwise from horizontal
- 7.5 m/sec at 30∘ clockwise from horizontal
- 15 m/sec at 30∘ clockwise from horizontal
- 15 m/sec at 60∘ clockwise from horizontal
A boy throws a ball with a velocity u at an angle θ with the horizontal. At the same instant he starts running with uniform velocity to catch the ball before it hits the ground. To achieve this, he should run with a velocity of :
