In a circus,a performer throws an apple towards a hoop held at $45 \, m$ height by another performer standing on a high platform (see figure). The thrower aims for the hoop and throws the apple with a speed of $24 \, m/s$. At the exact moment that the thrower releases the apple,the other performer drops the hoop. The hoop falls straight down. At what height above the ground does the apple go through the hoop (in $, m$)?

  • A
    $21$
  • B
    $22$
  • C
    $23$
  • D
    $24$

$A$ player kicks a football at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal with an initial speed of $30 \,ms^{-1}$. $A$ second player, standing at a distance of $21 \sqrt{3} \,m$ from the first player in the direction of the kick, starts running to catch the ball at the same instant it is kicked. What is the minimum speed of the second player to catch the ball before it hits the ground? (Take acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \,ms^{-2}$)

Two projectiles $A$ and $B$ are thrown with the same speed such that $A$ makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal and $B$ makes an angle $\theta$ with the vertical. Then:

$A$ boy ties a stone of mass $100 \,g$ to the end of a $2 \,m$ long string and whirls it around in a horizontal plane. The string can withstand a maximum tension of $80 \,N$. If the maximum speed with which the stone can revolve is $\frac{K}{\pi} \,rev/min$,find the value of $K$. (Assume the string is massless and unstretchable)

$A$ particle performs uniform circular motion with an angular momentum $L$. If the frequency of the particle's motion is doubled and its kinetic energy is halved, then its angular momentum becomes

$A$ particle moves along a circle with a constant angular speed $\omega$. Its displacement,with respect to the initial position of the particle at time $t = 0$,is plotted against time. The graph would look like:
