    $50$
  • B
    $60$

$A$ missile is fired in the horizontal direction from a height of $20\,m$ at a speed of $1000\,m/s$. At what horizontal distance from the base will the missile land?

$A$ cricket bowler releases the ball in two different ways:
$(a)$ giving it only horizontal velocity,and
$(b)$ giving it horizontal velocity and a small downward velocity.
The speed $V_s$ at the time of release is the same. Both are released at a height $H$ from the ground. Which one will have greater speed when the ball hits the ground? Neglect air resistance.

$A$ body is projected from the top of a tower with a velocity $\overrightarrow{u} = 3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k} \text{ m/s}$, where $\hat{i}, \hat{j},$ and $\hat{k}$ are unit vectors along east, north, and vertically upwards, respectively. If the height of the tower is $30 \text{ m}$, find the horizontal range of the body on the ground. (Take $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$) (in $\text{ m}$)

$A$ ball of mass $m=1 \, kg$ is thrown from the top of a building with initial velocity $v=(20 \, m/s) \hat{i} + (24 \, m/s) \hat{j}$ at time $t=0$.
