A ball is projected at an angle of above with the horizontal from the top of a tower and strikes the ground in at an angle of with the horizontal. Find the speed with which it was projected.


Important Questions on Kinematics

Two balls of mass and are thrown horizontally with the same initial velocity from top of a tall tower and experience a drag force of where is the instantaneous velocity.
Then,

A bomber plane moving at a horizontal speed of releases a bomb at a height of above ground as shown. At the same instant, a hunter of negligible height starts running from a point below it, to catch the bomb with speed . After two seconds he realised that he cannot make it, he stops running and immediately holds his gun and fires in such a direction, so that just before the bomb hits the ground, a bullet will hit it. What should be the firing speed of bullet. (Take )

A spot light rotates in a horizontal plane with a constant angular velocity of . The spot of light moves along the wall at a distance . What is the velocity of the spot when ?


Two identical discs of the same radius are rotating about their axes in opposite directions with the same constant angular speed . The disc is in the same horizontal plane.At time , the points and are facing each other as shown in the figure. The relative speed between the two points and is as a function of times best represented by
