Important Questions on Motion

MEDIUM
A ball of mass m is projected upward with a speed v0. The speed at a height h is (Neglecting air resistance)
HARD
A fighter plane, flying horizontally with a speed 360 km/h at an altitude of 500 m drops a bomb for a target straight ahead of it on the ground. The bomb should be dropped at what approximate distance ahead of the target? Assume that acceleration due to gravity g is 10 ms-2. Also, neglect air drag.
HARD
A mobile phone of mass 100 g falls from the hand of a person through the window of a train. The train is accelerating at 1 m s-2 and just 20 s have passed since it left the station from standstill. If the window is 2 m above the ground. With what kinetic energy will the phone will hit the ground? g=10 m s-2
MEDIUM
A helicopter is flying horizontally with a speed v at an altitude h has to drop a food packet for a man on the ground. What is the distance of helicopter from the man when the food packet is dropped ?
MEDIUM
A ball is dropped from a height H from rest. The ball travels H2 in last 1.0 s. The total time taken by the ball to hit the ground is
HARD

Two posts of heights 20 m and 10 m are 60 m apart, as shown in the figure. Foodgrains are continuously distributed between the two posts. A crow sitting on top of the taller post wants to pick up a grain and sit on the other post. What should be the distance of the grain it picks from the bottom of the taller post to minimise the total flight length?

Two bullets are fired simultaneously, horizontally and with different speeds from the same place. Which bullet will hit the ground first?
EASY
Two bullets are fired horizontally with different velocities from the same height. Which one will reach the ground first?
MEDIUM
A stone is thrown with a velocity of 20 m s-1 at an angle 60° with the horizontal. The speed of the stone when its direction of motion makes 45° with the horizontal is
EASY
A body is projected at an angle of 60° with the horizontal such that the vertical component of its initial velocity is 40 m s-1. The magnitude of velocity of the projectile at one quarter of its time of flight is nearly (Acceleration due to gravity =10 m s-2)
EASY
A bomb is dropped by a fighter plane flying horizontally. To an observer sitting in the plane, the trajectory of the bomb is a :
MEDIUM
A ball is thrown horizontally from a height of 100 m with an initial speed of 15 m/s. How far does it travel horizontally in the first 2 seconds?
EASY
A projectile is thrown at a speed which is twice its speed at its maximum height. If R and H are its range and maximum height respectively then the ratio RH is
EASY
A projectile is fired at an angle of 45° and reaches the highest point in its path after 22 s. Find the velocity of projectile in m/s.
EASY

A particle is projected with a velocity v so that its range on a horizontal plane is twice the greatest height attained. Show that the range is 4v25g.

MEDIUM
A ball is thrown vertically upwards at a speed u and returns to the thrower. There are two instants at which the ball has equal kinetic and potential energies. The difference between these two instants is  
MEDIUM
Two balls are projected with the same speed but making different angles with the horizontal. Their ranges are equal. If the angle of projection of one is π3 radian and maximum height reached is y1, the maximum height of the other ball is
HARD

Two particles are simultaneously projected in the horizontal direction from a point P at a certain height. The initial velocities of the particles are oppositely directed to each other and have magnitude v each. The separation between the particles at a time when their position vectors (drawn from the point P) are mutually perpendicular, is:

MEDIUM
When an object is shot from the bottom of a long smooth inclined plane kept at an angle 60° with horizontal, it can travel a distance x1 along the plane. But, when the inclination is decreased to 30° and the same object is shot with the same velocity, it can travel x2 distance. Then x1:x2 will be
