Numerical
A train is moving along a straight line with a constant acceleration 'a'. A boy standing in the train throws a ball forward with a speed of 10 m/s, at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ to the horizontal. The boy has to move forward by 1.15 m inside the train to catch the ball back at the initial height. The acceleration of the train, in $m/s^{2}$ , is
Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
$T = \frac{2u\sin\theta}{g} \Rightarrow T = \frac{2\times 10\times\sqrt{3}}{10\times 2} = \sqrt{3}\sec$
$R = u \cos \theta . T - \frac {1}{2} a T ^ {2}$
$R = u \cos \theta . T - \frac {1}{2} a T ^ {2}$
