A battle ship simultaneously fires two shells at enemy ships. Both are fired with the same speed but with different directions as shown. If the shells follow the parabolic trajectories shown, which ship gets hit first?
Need more information about the trajectories.
Ship μ1
They get hit at the same time.
Ship μ2
A rod of mass m and length l is kept on a smooth wedge of mass M as shown in the figure. If the system is released, find the speed of the wedge when the rod hits the ground level, neglecting friction in all contacting surfaces.

Inside a hollow uniform sphere of mass M , a uniform rod of lenght R√2 is released from the state of rest. The mass of the rod is same as that of the sphere. If the inner radius of the hollow sphere is R then find out horizontal displacement of sphere with respect to earth in the time in which the rod becomes horizontal.
Two children sit on a see-saw which is 6 m long and pivoted on an axis at its center. The first child has a mass of 20 kg and sits at the left end of the see-saw, while the second child has a mass of 40 kg and sits somewhere on the see-saw to the right of the axis. At what distance from the axis should the second child sit to keep the see-saw horizontal?
1 m
1.5 m
2.5 m
3 m
A block of mass m1=2kg slides along a frictionless table with a speed of 10m/s. Directly in front of it, and moving in same direction is a block of mass m2=5kg moving at a speed of 3 m/s. A massless spring with a constant of k = 1120 N/m is attached to the back side of m2 as shown. When the block collides, what is the maximum compression in the spring?
0.25 m
0.50 m
0.125 m
0.75 m
