Two particles are simultaneously projected in opposite directions horizontally from a given point in space, where gravity $g$ is uniform. If $u_1$ and $u_2$ be their initial speeds, then the time $t$ after which their velocities are mutually perpendicular is given by

A child stands on the edge of the cliff $10\,m$ above the ground and throws a stone horizontally with an initial speed of $5\,ms ^{-1}$. Neglecting the air resistance, the speed with which the stone hits the ground will be $..........ms ^{-1}$ (given, $g =10\,ms ^{-2}$)

A ball is projected from the ground at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal surface. It reaches a maximum height of $120 m$ and returns to the ground. Upon hitting the ground for the first time, it loses half of its kinetic energy. Immediately after the bounce, the velocity of the ball makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal surface. The maximum height it reaches after the bounce, in metres, is. . . . .
