3-2.Motion in Plane
medium
The initial velocity of a particle of mass $2\,kg$ is $(4 \hat{ i }+4 \hat{ j })\,m / s$. A constant force of $-20 \hat{ j }\,N$ is applied on the particle. Initially, the particle was at $(0,0)$. Find the $x$-coordinate of the point where its $y$-coordinate is again zero.$..........\,m$
A
$3.2$
B
$6$
C
$4.8$
D
$1.2$
Solution
(a)
Comparing with projectile motion we can see that it is like a projectile motion with $u_x=4\,m / s , u_y=4\,m / s$ and $a_y=10\,m / s ^2$.
$x \text {-coordinate }=\text { range }=\frac{2 u_x u_y}{g}$
$=\frac{2 \times 4 \times 4}{10}=3.2\,m$
