According to the quantum theory,a photon of electromagnetic radiation of frequency $v$ has energy $E = h v$,where $h$ is known as Planck's constant. According to the theory of relativity,a particle of mass $m$ has equivalent energy $E = m c^2$,where $c$ is the speed of light. Thus,a photon can be treated as a particle having effective mass $m = \frac{h v}{c^2}$. If a flash of light is sent horizontally in the Earth's gravitational field,then photons while travelling a horizontal distance $d$ would fall through a vertical distance given by:

$A$ cart is moving horizontally along a straight line with a constant speed of $30\,m/s$. $A$ projectile is to be fired from the moving cart in such a way that it will return to the cart (at the same point on the cart) after the cart has moved $80\,m$. At what velocity (relative to the cart) must the projectile be fired? (Take $g = 10\,m/s^2$)
