A person is standing on a truck moving with a constant velocity of 14.7 m/s on a horizontal road. The man throws a ball in such a way that it returns to the truck after the truck has moved 58.8 m. Find the speed and the angle of projection as seen from the truck .

उत्तर
Given:
Velocity of the truck = 14.7 m/s
Distance covered by the truck when the ball returns again to the truck = 58.8 m
Therefore, we can say that the time taken by the truck to cover 58.8 m distance is equal to the time of the flight of the truck.
Time in which the truck has moved the distance of 58.8 m:
T = 4 s
Time taken to reach the maximum height when the final velocity v = 0:
∴ v = u − at
⇒ 0 = u + 9.8 × 2
⇒ u = 19.6 m/s
19.6 m/s is the initial velocity with which the ball is thrown upwards.

It is a common observation that rain clouds can be at about a kilometre altitude above the ground.
- If a rain drop falls from such a height freely under gravity, what will be its speed? Also calculate in km/h. ( g = 10 m/s2)

A man is standing on top of a building 100 m high. He throws two balls vertically, one at t = 0 and other after a time interval (less than 2 seconds).

Calculate the velocity with which the balls were thrown and the exact time interval between their throw.
