Important Questions on Motion





Two posts of heights and are 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?









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



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

The velocity of a projectile at the initial point is . Its velocity (in ) at point is
