$A$ player kicks a ball at a speed of $20 \ ms^{-1}$ so that its horizontal range is maximum. Another player $24 \ m$ away in the direction of the kick,starts running in the same direction at the same instant the ball is kicked. If he has to catch the ball just before it reaches the ground,he should run with a velocity equal to: (Take $g = 10 \ ms^{-2}$)

  • A
    $2 \sqrt{2} \ ms^{-1}$
  • B
    $4 \sqrt{2} \ ms^{-1}$
  • C
    $6 \sqrt{2} \ ms^{-1}$
  • D
    $10 \sqrt{2} \ ms^{-1}$

$A$ body is projected with a speed $u \ m/s$ at an angle $\beta$ with the horizontal. The kinetic energy at the highest point is $3/4$ of the initial kinetic energy. The value of $\beta$ is: (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ body projected at a certain angle $(\neq 90^{\circ})$ from the ground crosses a point in its path at a time $t_1 = 2.3 \ s$ and from there it reaches the ground after a further time $t_2 = 5.7 \ s$. The maximum height reached by the body is (Take $g = 10 \ ms^{-2}$) (in $m$)

The height $y$ and the distance $x$ along the horizontal plane of a projectile on a certain planet (with no surrounding atmosphere) are given by $y = 8t - 5t^2 \text{ m}$ and $x = 6t \text{ m}$,where $t$ is in seconds. The velocity with which the projectile is projected is (in $\text{ m/s}$)
