$A$ ball is hit by a batsman at an angle of $37^o$ with an initial velocity $u = 15 \ m/s$ as shown in the figure. The man standing at $P$ is at a distance of $9 \ m$ from the point $B$ where the ball would strike the ground. What is the minimum velocity at which the man should run to catch the ball before it hits the ground? Assume the height of the man is negligible. ........ $m/s$

$A$ projectile is thrown upward at an angle $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The speed of the projectile is $20 \text{ m/s}$ when its direction of motion is $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The initial speed of the projectile is . . . . . . in $\text{m/s}$.

At a given instant of time,two particles have position vectors $4 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} + 57 \hat{k} \ m$ and $2 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k} \ m$ respectively. If the velocity of the first particle is $0.4 \hat{i} \ ms^{-1}$,what is the velocity of the second particle in $ms^{-1}$ if they collide after $10 \ s$?

Show that for a projectile,the angle between the velocity and the $x$-axis as a function of time is given by $\theta(t) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{v_{0y} - gt}{v_{0x}}\right)$.
Show that the projection angle $\theta_0$ for a projectile launched from the origin is given by $\theta_0 = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{4h_m}{R}\right)$,where the symbols have their usual meanings.

Two projectiles are fired from the ground with the same initial speeds from the same point at angles $(45^{\circ}+\alpha)$ and $(45^{\circ}-\alpha)$ with the horizontal direction. The ratio of their times of flight is

$A$ projectile is fired at a speed of $100 \, m/s$ at an angle of $37^o$ above the horizontal. At the highest point,the projectile breaks into two parts of mass ratio $1:3$,the smaller coming to rest. Then the distance of the heavier part from the launching point is ........... $m$.
