$A$ projectile is launched with an initial speed of $40 \ m \ s^{-1}$ at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ above the ground. The projectile lands on a hillside $2.0 \ s$ later. The net displacement from where the projectile was launched to where it hits the target is (Take $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$)

$A$ projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of $5 \, m s^{-1}$ and angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. Another projectile is fired from another planet with a velocity of $3 \, m s^{-1}$ at the same angle and follows a trajectory which is identical to the trajectory of the projectile fired from the earth. The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is (in $m s^{-2}$) (Given $g = 9.8 \, m s^{-2}$):

$A$ body projected along a frictionless inclined plane of angle of inclination $30^{\circ}$ covers a distance of $40\, m$ along the plane. If the body is projected with the same speed at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the ground,it will have a range of: (Take $g = 10\, m/s^2$)

$A$ projectile is launched from the origin in the $xy$ plane ($x$ is the horizontal and $y$ is the vertically up direction) making an angle $\alpha$ from the $x$-axis. If its distance $r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$ from the origin is plotted against $x$,the resulting curves show different behaviors for launch angles $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ as shown in the figure. For $\alpha_1$,$r(x)$ keeps increasing with $x$,while for $\alpha_2$,$r(x)$ increases and reaches a maximum,then decreases and goes through a minimum before increasing again. The switch between these two cases takes place at a critical angle $\alpha_c$ (where $\alpha_1 < \alpha_c < \alpha_2$). The value of $\alpha_c$ is (where $v_0$ is the initial speed of the projectile and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity).

$A$ small boy is throwing a ball towards a wall $6 \,m$ in front of him. He releases the ball at a height of $1.4 \,m$ from the ground. The ball bounces from the wall at a height of $3 \,m$,rebounds from the ground and reaches the boy's hand exactly at the point of release. Assuming the two bounces (one from the wall and the other from the ground) to be perfectly elastic,how far ahead of the boy did the ball bounce from the ground (in $,m$)?
