Important Questions on Projectile Motion on an Inclined Plane

HARD
IMPORTANT

A man is travelling on a flat car which is moving up a plane inclined at cosθ=45 to the horizontal with a speed 5 m s-1. He throws a ball towards a stationary hoop located perpendicular to the incline in such a way that the ball moves parallel to the slope of the incline while going through the centre of the hoop. The centre of the hoop is 4 m  high from the man's hand calculate the time taken (in s) by the ball to reach the hoop in second.

Two parallel straight lines are inclined to the horizontal at an angle α. A particle is projected from a point midway between them to graze one of the lines and strikes the other at right angles. Show that if θ is the angle between the direction of projection and either of lines, then tanθ=(2-1)cotα.
