An aeroplane is flying at a constant horizontal velocity of $600\, km/hr $ at an elevation of $6\, km$ towards a point directly above the target on the earth's surface. At an appropriate time, the pilot releases a ball so that it strikes the target at the earth. The ball will appear to be falling

  • A

    On a parabolic path as seen by pilot in the plane

  • B

    Vertically along a straight path as seen by an observer on the ground near the target

  • C

    On a parabolic path as seen by an observer on the ground near the target

  • D

    On a zig-zag path as seen by pilot in the plane

A body is projected horizontally with a velocity of $4\,m / s$ from the top of a high tower. The velocity of the body after $0.7\,s$ is nearly $.....\,m/s$ (take $g=10\,m / s ^2$ )

A particle is projected from a tower of height $40\ m$ in horizontal direction. Due to wind a constant acceleration is provided to the particle opposite to its initial velocity. If particle hits the ground (at the bottom of the tower) at an angle $37^o$ with horizontal, then find acceleration provided by wind to the particle 

A ball is thrown from the location $\left(x_0, y_0\right)=(0,0)$ of a horizontal playground with an initial speed $v_0$ at an angle $\theta_0$ from the $+x$-direction. The ball is to be hit by a stone, which is thrown at the same time from the location $\left(x_1, y_1\right)=(L, 0)$. The stone is thrown at an angle $\left(180-\theta_1\right)$ from the $+x$-direction with a suitable initial speed. For a fixed $v_0$, when $\left(\theta_0, \theta_1\right)=\left(45^{\circ}, 45^{\circ}\right)$, the stone hits the ball after time $T_1$, and when $\left(\theta_0, \theta_1\right)=\left(60^{\circ}, 30^{\circ}\right)$, it hits the ball after time $T_2$. In such a case, $\left(T_1 / T_2\right)^2$ is. . . . .
