Q: A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a tower. What happens to the horizontal component of its velocity ?

(a)Increases

(b) Decreases

(c) Remains unchanged

(d) First decreases and then increases

Click to See Answer :
Ans: (c)
Sol: As there is No acceleration in horizontal direction hence the horizontal component of its velocity remains unchanged .

Q: A swimmer is approaching the shore with a speed of 5√3 m/s  . At the instant when it is at a distance of 30√3 m from the shore, he projects a ball at an elevation of 30° for it to just reach the shore. The speed of stone relative to swimmer is 5x ms-1. Find the value of x.

Ans. 4

Assume ground as XY-plane and vertically upward as Z-axis. The velocity of an aeroplane is 3i + 4 j + 5 k  . A car is moving on ground as such aeroplane is always above the car. At t = 0, both starts from origin of coordinate system. Choose the correct statement(s).
