In a spring gun having a spring constant $k = 100\, \text{N/m}$,a small ball $B$ of mass $m = 100\, \text{g}$ is placed in its barrel (as shown in the figure) by compressing the spring by $x = 0.05\, \text{m}$. $A$ box is placed at a distance $d$ on the ground so that the ball falls into it. If the ball leaves the gun horizontally at a height of $h = 2\, \text{m}$ above the ground,find the value of $d$ in meters. (Take $g = 10\, \text{m/s}^2$)

    $5$
  • B

$A$ cricket ball is thrown at a speed of $28 \; m/s$ in a direction $30^{\circ}$ above the horizontal. Calculate:
$(a)$ the maximum height,
$(b)$ the time taken by the ball to return to the same level,and
$(c)$ the distance from the thrower to the point where the ball returns to the same level.

The height $y$ and the distance $x$ along the horizontal plane of a projectile on a certain planet (with no surrounding atmosphere) are given by $y = (8t - 5t^2) \ m$ and $x = 6t \ m$,where $t$ is in seconds. The angle with the horizontal at which the projectile was projected is:

The range of a particle when launched at an angle of $15^\circ$ with the horizontal is $1.5 \, km$. What is the range of the projectile when launched at an angle of $45^\circ$ to the horizontal? (in $km$)
