(31.) A particle is projected with a velocity 200 ms −1 at an angle of 60°. At the
highest point, it explodes into three particles of equal masses. One goes
vertically upwards with a velocity 100 ms −1 , the second particle goes
vertically downwards. What is the velocity of third particle?
(a.) 120 ms −1 making 60° angle with horizontal
(b.) 200 ms −1 making 60° angle with horizontal

(c.) 300 ms −1
(d.) 200 ms −1
ANSWER: c
EXPLANATION: (c)
If a particle is projected with velocity 𝑢 at an angle θ with the horizontal, the

velocity of the particle at the highest point is
𝑣 = 𝑢 cos θ = 200 cos 60° = 100 ms −1
If 𝑚 is the mass of the particle, then its initial momentum at highest point in the
horizontal direction = 𝑚𝑣 = 𝑚 × 100. It means at the highest point, initially the
particle has no momentum vertically upwards or downwards. Therefore, after
explosion, the final momentum of the particles going upwards and downwards
must be zero. Hence, the final momentum after explosion is the momentum of
the third particle, in the horizontal direction. If the third particle moves with
𝑚𝑣′
velocity 𝑣 ′ , then its momentum = ,

According to law of conservation of linear momentum,
𝑚𝑣′
We have = 𝑚 × 100 or 𝑣 ′ = 300 ms −1

(c.) 15
(d.) 2 √5
ANSWER: a
EXPLANATION: (a)
⃗ = 2î + 4ĵ, B
A ⃗ = 5î + 𝑝 ĵ
𝐴 = √22 + 42 = √20
𝐵 = √52 + 𝑝2
⃗ ∙B
A ⃗ = 10 − 4𝑝
If A⃗ ∥B⃗ then
⃗ ∙B
A ⃗ = 𝐴𝐵 cos0° = 𝐴𝐵
10 − 4𝑝 = √20 √25 + 𝑝2
Square 100+16𝑝2 − 80𝑝
= 20(25 + 𝑝2 ) = 500 = 20𝑝2
or 20𝑝2 − 16𝑝2 + 80𝑝 + 400 = 0
or 𝑝2 + 20𝑝 + 100 = 0
or (𝑝 + 10)2 = 0
∴ 𝑝 = −10

(230.) A stone is swinging in a horizontal circle 0.8 m in diameter, at 30rev/min.
A distant light causes a shadow of the stone to be formed on a nearby wall.
What is the amplitude of the motion of the shadow? What is the frequency?

following statements (𝑠) is/are correct?
(a.) The time of flight of each particle is the same.
(b.) The particles will collide the plane with same speed
(c.) Both the particles strike the plane perpendicularly

(d.) The particles will collide in mid air if projected simultaneously and time
of flight of each particle is less than the time of collision
ANSWER: a
EXPLANATION: (a)
Here, α = 2θ, β = θ
2𝑢 sin(𝛼−𝛽)
Time of flight of 𝐴 is, 𝑇1 =
g cos β
2𝑢 sin(2θ − θ) 2𝑢
= = tan θ
g cos θ g
2𝑢 sin 𝜃 2𝑢
Time of flight of 𝐵 is, 𝑇2 = = tan θ
g cos θ g
So, 𝑇1 = 𝑇2 . The acceleration of both the particles is g downwards. Therefore,
relative acceleration between the two is zero or relative motion between the two
is uniform. The relative velocity of 𝐴 w.r.t. 𝐵 is towards 𝐴𝐵 , therefore collision
will take place between the two in mid air.

(b.) 𝑃 lands in the unshaded region and 𝑄 in the shaded region
(c.) Both 𝑃 and 𝑄 land in the unshaded region
(d.) Both 𝑃 and 𝑄 land in the shaded region
ANSWER: a
EXPLANATION: (a)
To reach the unshaded portion particle 𝑃 needs to travel horizontal range greater

portion
𝑄 is near to origin, its velocity will be nearly along 𝑄𝑅 so its will fall in unshaded

(311.) A particle leaves the origin with an initial velocity 𝐯⃗ = (3.00𝐢̂)ms −1 and a
constant acceleration 𝐚⃗ = (−1.00𝐢̂ − 0.50𝐣̂) ms −2 . When the particle
reaches it maximum 𝑥-coordinate, what is its 𝑦-component a velocity?
(a.) −2.0 ms −1
(b.) −1.0 ms −1
(c.) −1.5 ms −1
(d.) 1.0 ms −1
ANSWER: c
EXPLANATION: (c)
The velocity of the particle at any time 𝑡

𝐯⃗ = 𝐯⃗0 + 𝐚⃗𝑡
The 𝑥-component is
𝑣𝑥 = 𝑣𝑎𝑥 + 𝑎𝑥 𝑡

(356.) Two bullets are fired simultaneously, horizontally and with different
speeds from the same place. Which bullet will hit the ground first?
(a.) The faster bullet
(b.) The slower bullet
(c.) Both will hit simultaneously
(d.) Depends on the masses
ANSWER: c
EXPLANATION: (c)
When two bullets are fired simultaneously, horizontally with different speeds,
then they cover different horizontal distance because there is no acceleration in
this direction.
Since, horizontal distance(𝑅 ) = velocity × time.
But there is a vertical acceleration towards the earth (g), so the vertical distance
covered by both bullet are
given by
1
𝑦 = 𝑔𝑡 2 , which is independent of initial velocity.
2
So, both the bullets will hit the ground simultaneously .

(a.) 15°
(b.) 75°

For vertically upward motion of a projectile,

1
or ℎ = (𝑢 sin α)𝑡 − 𝑔𝑡 2
2
or 𝑔𝑡 2 − (2𝑢 sinα)𝑡 + 2ℎ = 0
2𝑢 sinα ± √(4𝑢2 sin2 α) − 8𝑔ℎ

If two roots of quadratic Eq.(i) are 𝑡1 , 𝑡2 then
2𝑢 sinα + √4𝑢2 sin2 α − 8𝑔ℎ
𝑡1 =
2𝑔
2𝑢 sinα − √4𝑢2 sin2 α − 8𝑔ℎ
𝑡2 =
2𝑔
If particle crosses the wall at times 𝑡1 and 𝑡2 respectively, then time of flight 𝑡 is
𝑡 = √𝑡1 𝑡2
or 𝑡 2 = 𝑡1 𝑡2
2𝑢 sinα 2 (2𝑢 sinα)2 − (4𝑢2 sin2 𝛼 − 8𝑔ℎ)
∴ ( ) =

4𝑢2 sin2 𝛼 8𝑔ℎ
or =

or 2𝑢2 sin2 α = 𝑔ℎ
Given, 𝑢 = √2𝑔ℎ

or sinα =

(432.) The vectors a⃗ and ⃗b are such that |a⃗ + ⃗b| = |a⃗ − ⃗b|. What is the angle
between a⃗ and ⃗b?
(a.) 0°
(b.) 90°
(c.) 60°
(d.) 180°
ANSWER: b
EXPLANATION: (b)
𝑎2 + 𝑏2 + 2𝑎𝑏 cosθ

or 4𝑎𝑏 cosθ = 0
But 4𝑎𝑏 ≠ 0 ∴ cosθ = 0 or θ = 90°
Again
⃗ | and |a⃗ − b
|a⃗ + b ⃗ | are the diagonals of parallelogram whose adjacent sides are a⃗
and ⃗b.
Since |a⃗ + ⃗b| = |a⃗ − ⃗b|, therefore, the two diagonals of a parallelogram are
equal. So, think of square. This leads to θ = 90°.

(460.) Centripetal acceleration is
(a.) A constant vector
(b.) A constant scalar
(c.) A magnitude changing vector
(d.) Not a constant vector
ANSWER: d
EXPLANATION: (d)
𝑣2
Centripetal acceleration, 𝑎𝑐 =
𝑅
Where 𝑣 is the speed of an object and 𝑅 is the radius of the circle
It is always directed towards the centre of the circle. Since 𝑣 and 𝑅 are constants
for a given uniform circular motion, therefore the magnitude of centripetal
acceleration is also constant. However, the direction of centripetal acceleration
changes continuously. Therefore, a centripetal acceleration is not a constant

horizontal from a height 𝐻 above the ground. If 𝑣 = speed with which
particle hits the ground and 𝑡 =time taken by particle to reach ground, then
(a.) As θ increases, 𝑣 decreases and 𝑡 increases
(b.) As θ increases, 𝑣 increases and 𝑡 increases

(c.) As θ increases, 𝑣 remains same and 𝑡 increases
(d.) As θ increases, 𝑣 remains same and 𝑡 decreases
ANSWER: c
EXPLANATION: (c)
From figure,
1
𝐻 = (−𝑣0 sin θ)𝑡 + g𝑡 2
2
𝑣𝑥 = 𝑣0 cos θ
𝑣𝑦2 = (𝑣0 sin θ)2 + 2g𝐻
𝑣 = √𝑣𝑥2 + 𝑣𝑦2 at ground
𝑣 = √𝑣02 + 2g𝐻
It means speed is independent of angle of projection

From this, where θ increases, 𝑡 increases
Hence,

(500.) A particle of mass 𝑚 attracted with a string of length 𝑙 is just revolving on
the vertical circle without slacking of the string. If 𝑣𝐴 , 𝑣𝐵 and 𝑣𝐷 are speed
at position 𝐴, 𝐵 and 𝐷 then
(a.) 𝑣𝐵 > 𝑣𝐷 > 𝑣𝐴
(b.) Tension in string at 𝐷 = 3 𝑚g
(c.) 𝑣𝐷 = √3g𝑙
(d.) All of the above
ANSWER: d
EXPLANATION: (d)
At 𝐴, 𝑣𝐴 = √g𝑙
At 𝐵, 𝑣𝐵 = √5g𝑙
and at 𝐷, 𝑣𝐷 = √3g𝑙
Thus, 𝑣𝐵 > 𝑣𝐷 > 𝑣𝐴
Also, 𝑇 = 3 𝑚g(1 + cos θ)
So, 𝐷, θ = 90°
∴ 𝑇 = 3 𝑚g(1 + θ) = 3 𝑚g
