(a) Let the ball collide after t sec
From fig. OC = OB cos 37° = 500 cos 37°

Horizontal velocity = 700 × cos 37º
\ OC = 700 × cos 37° × t

2
  Þ t = 2 sec
19. (b) The horizontal and vertical velocities of the bomb are
independent to each other. The time taken by the bomb
to hit the target can be calculated by its vertical mo-
tion. Let this time be t. Putting h = 490 m and g = 9.8 m/
s
2
 in the formula h = 1/2 gt
2
,
we have  490 = (1/2) × 9.8 × t
2
,
\ t =

490 2 ´
 = 10 sec
The bomb will hit the target after 10 sec of its dropping.
The horizontal velocity of the bomb is 60 km/hr which
is constant. Hence the horizontal distance travelled by
the bomb in 10 sec (horizontal velocity × time)
= 60 km/hr × 10 sec
= 60 km/hr × 10/(60 × 60) hr = 1/6 km
Hence the distance of aeroplane from the enemy post
is  1/6 km = 1000/6 m = 500/3 meter.
The trajectory of the bomb as seen by an observer on
the ground is parabola. Since the horizontal velocity of
the bomb is the same as that of the aeroplane, the fall-
ing bomb will always remain below the aeroplane. Hence
the person sitting inside the aeroplane will observe the
bomb falling vertically downward.
20. (a) The angle of projection of the ball is q
0
 ( = 30º) and the
velocity of projection is u ( = 10 m/s). Resolving u in
horizontal and vertical components,
we have horizontal component,
u
x
 = u cos q
0
 = 10 cos 30º = 8.65 m/s
and vertical component (upward),
u
y
 = u sin 30º = 5.0 m/s
If the ball hit the ground after t sec of projection, then
the horizontal range is  R = u

 × t = 8.65 t meter
\ t =

R

where u

' is the vertical component
(downward) of the velocity of the ball.
Here u

y
' = – 5.0 m/s and t = 2.0 s
\ h = (–5.0) × 2.0 + 1/2 × 10 × (2.0)
2
= – 10 + 20 = 10 meter
21. (b) Let the ball B hits the ball A after t sec
The X-component of velocity of A is
v
0
 cos 37º = 700 cos 37º
The X-compoment of position of B is 300 cos 37º
The collision will take place when the X-coordinate of
A is the same as that of B.
As the collision takes place at a time t, hence
700 cos 37º × t = 300 cos 37º
or t = (300/700) = (3/7) sec
In this time the ball B has fallen through a distance
y = – 1/2  gt
2
 (Free fall of body B)
 = – 1/2 × 980 × (3 / 7)
2
 = – 90 cm
Hence the ball B falls a distance 90 cm
22. (b)

constant. When force is in oblique direction with initial

Horizontal velocity = 700 × cos 37º
\ OC = 700 × cos 37° × t

From eqs. (1) and (2) 560 t = 400

2
  Þ t = 2 sec
19. (b) The horizontal and vertical velocities of the bomb are
independent to each other. The time taken by the bomb
to hit the target can be calculated by its vertical mo-
tion. Let this time be t. Putting h = 490 m and g = 9.8 m/

 in the formula h = 1/2 gt
2
,
we have  490 = (1/2) × 9.8 × t
2
,
\ t =

490 2 ´
 = 10 sec
The bomb will hit the target after 10 sec of its dropping.
The horizontal velocity of the bomb is 60 km/hr which
is constant. Hence the horizontal distance travelled by
the bomb in 10 sec (horizontal velocity × time)
= 60 km/hr × 10 sec
= 60 km/hr × 10/(60 × 60) hr = 1/6 km
Hence the distance of aeroplane from the enemy post
is  1/6 km = 1000/6 m = 500/3 meter.
The trajectory of the bomb as seen by an observer on
the ground is parabola. Since the horizontal velocity of
the bomb is the same as that of the aeroplane, the fall-
ing bomb will always remain below the aeroplane. Hence
the person sitting inside the aeroplane will observe the
bomb falling vertically downward.
20. (a) The angle of projection of the ball is q
0
 ( = 30º) and the
velocity of projection is u ( = 10 m/s). Resolving u in
horizontal and vertical components,
we have horizontal component,
u
x
 = u cos q
0
 = 10 cos 30º = 8.65 m/s
and vertical component (upward),
u
y
 = u sin 30º = 5.0 m/s
If the ball hit the ground after t sec of projection, then
the horizontal range is  R = u

 × t = 8.65 t meter
\ t =

then h = u'

where u
y
' is the vertical component
(downward) of the velocity of the ball.
Here u

y
' = – 5.0 m/s and t = 2.0 s
\ h = (–5.0) × 2.0 + 1/2 × 10 × (2.0)
2
= – 10 + 20 = 10 meter
21. (b) Let the ball B hits the ball A after t sec
The X-component of velocity of A is
v
0
 cos 37º = 700 cos 37º
The X-compoment of position of B is 300 cos 37º
The collision will take place when the X-coordinate of
A is the same as that of B.
As the collision takes place at a time t, hence
700 cos 37º × t = 300 cos 37º
or t = (300/700) = (3/7) sec
In this time the ball B has fallen through a distance
y = – 1/2  gt
2
 (Free fall of body B)
 = – 1/2 × 980 × (3 / 7)
2
 = – 90 cm
Hence the ball B falls a distance 90 cm
22. (b)
(1) Because force is constant hence acceleration will be
constant. When force is in oblique direction with initial
velocity , the resultant path is parabolic path.

Let t be the time taken by the ball for these horizontal
and vertical displacement. Then velocity along
horizontal direction remains constant = u ; initial vertical
velocity is zero
\ nb = ut ....(1)
nh = 0 + (1/2) gt

From (1) & (2) we get

 × 14.15= 571.43 m
27. (b) Horizontal component of velocity
= 720 × 5/8 = 200 m/s
Let t be the time taken for a freely falling body from 490.
Then y  = (1/2) gt
2
Þ  490 = (1/2) × 9.8 × t
2
  Þ  t = 10 second
Now horizontal distance = Velocity × time
= 200 × 10 =2000m
Hence the bomb missed the target by 2000 m
28. (a) Since W = D K implies that the final speed will be same.
29. (a) The time of flight depends only on the vertical
component of velocity which remains unchanged in
collision with a vertical wall.
30. (a) In statement-2, if speed of both projectiles are same,
horizontal ranges will be same. Hence statement-2 is
correct explanation of statement-1.
