$A$ helicopter flying horizontally with a speed of $360 \ km/h$ at an altitude of $2 \ km$,drops an object at an instant. The object hits the ground at a point $O$,$20 \ s$ after it is dropped. The displacement of $O$ from the position of the helicopter where the object was released is: (use acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$ and neglect air resistance)

  • A
    $2\sqrt{5} \ km$
  • B
    $4 \ km$
  • C
    $7.2 \ km$
  • D
    $2\sqrt{2} \ km$

$A$ hiker stands on the edge of a cliff $490 \; m$ above the ground and throws a stone horizontally with an initial speed of $15 \; m/s$. Neglecting air resistance,find the time taken by the stone to reach the ground,and the speed with which it hits the ground. (Take $g = 9.8 \; m/s^2$).

At a height $0.4\, m$ from the ground,the velocity of a projectile in vector form is $\vec v = (6\hat i + 2\hat j)\,m/s$. The angle of projection is ...... $^o$ $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$.

$A$ hiker stands on the edge of a cliff $490 \ m$ above the ground and throws a stone horizontally with an initial speed of $15 \ m \ s^{-1}$. The speed with which it hits the ground is (in $m \ s^{-1}$)

From the top of a tower of height $40\,m$,a ball is projected upwards with a speed of $20\,m/s$ at an angle of elevation of $30^{\circ}$. The ratio of the total time taken by the ball to hit the ground to its time of flight (time taken to come back to the same elevation) is (take $g=10\,m/s^2$).

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