$A$ player kicks a football at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal with an initial speed of $30 \,ms^{-1}$. $A$ second player, standing at a distance of $21 \sqrt{3} \,m$ from the first player in the direction of the kick, starts running to catch the ball at the same instant it is kicked. What is the minimum speed of the second player to catch the ball before it hits the ground? (Take acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \,ms^{-2}$)

  • A
    $10 \,ms^{-1}$
  • B
    $8 \,ms^{-1}$
  • C
    $8 \sqrt{3} \,ms^{-1}$
  • D
    $15 \sqrt{3} \,ms^{-1}$

As shown in the figure,there is a spring-block system. $A$ block of mass $500\,g$ is pressed against a horizontal spring fixed at one end to compress the spring by $5.0\,cm$. The spring constant is $500\,N/m$. When released,calculate the horizontal distance from the edge of the table where it will hit the ground $4\,m$ below the spring. $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$

State whether the following statements are true or false:
$(a)$ If the angular velocity is constant on a circular path,the linear velocity is also constant.
$(b)$ In projectile motion,the velocity vector of the projectile is always perpendicular to the acceleration vector.
$(c)$ For the maximum horizontal range $R$ of a projectile,the maximum height attained is $\frac{R}{4}$.
$(d)$ If $|\vec{A} \times \vec{B}| = AB$,then the angle between $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B}$ is zero.

Consider the two statements related to circular motion in usual notations:
$A$. In uniform circular motion,$\vec{\omega}$,$\vec{v}$,and $\vec{a}$ are always mutually perpendicular.
$B$. In non-uniform circular motion,$\vec{\omega}$,$\vec{v}$,and $\vec{a}$ are always mutually perpendicular.
