$H _ {1} = \frac {u ^ {2} \sin^ {2} 4 5}{2 g} = 1 2 0$

$\Rightarrow \frac {u ^ {2}}{4 g} = 1 2 0\tag{... (i}$
When half of kinetic energy is lost $v = \frac{u}{\sqrt{2}}$
$H _ {2} = \frac {\left(\frac {u}{\sqrt {2}}\right) ^ {2} \sin^ {2} 3 0}{2 g} = \frac {u ^ {2}}{1 6 g}\tag{... (ii}$
From (i) and (ii)
$H _ {2} = \frac {H _ {1}}{4} = 3 0 m \mathrm{on} 3 0. 0 0$
$H _ {1} = \frac {u ^ {2} \sin^ {2} 4 5}{2 g} = 1 2 0$

A rocket is moving in a gravity free space with a constant acceleration of $2 \, ms^{-2}$ along +x direction (see figure). The length of a chamber inside the rocket is 4m. A ball is thrown from the left end of the chamber in +x direction with a speed of $0.3 \, ms^{-1}$ relative to the rocket. At the same time, another ball is thrown in -x direction with a speed of $0.2 \, ms^{-1}$ from its right end relative to the rocket. The time in seconds when the two balls hit each other is
Correct Answer: 8 or 2
Explanation:
Ans. (8 or 2)
Assuming open chamber

$V _ {\mathrm{relative}} = 0. 5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$
$S _ {\mathrm{relative}} = 4 m$
$\mathrm{Time} = \frac {4}{0 . 5} = 8 m / s$
Alternate:
Assuming closed chamber
In the frame of chamber :

Maximum displacement of ball A from its left end is $\frac{u_{A}^{2}}{2a} = \frac{(0.3)^{2}}{2(2)} = 0.0225 \, m$
This is negligible with respect to the length of chamber i.e. 4m. So, the collision will be very close to the left end.
Hence, time taken by ball B to reach left end will be given by
$S = u _ {B} t + \frac {1}{2} a t ^ {2}$
$4 = (0. 2) (t) + \frac {1}{2} (2) (t) ^ {2}$
Solving this, we get
$t \approx 2 s$
Assuming open chamber

$V _ {\mathrm{relative}} = 0. 5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$
$S _ {\mathrm{relative}} = 4 m$
$\mathrm{Time} = \frac {4}{0 . 5} = 8 m / s$

Airplanes A and B are flying with constant velocity in the same vertical plane at angles $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the horizontal respectively as shown in figure. The speed of A is $100\sqrt{3}$ ms $^{-1}$ . At time t = 0 s, an observer in A finds B at a distance of 500 m. This observer sees B moving with a constant velocity perpendicular to the line of motion of A. If at $t = t_{0}$ , A just escapes being hit by B, $t_{0}$ in seconds is
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Ans. (5)
As observed from A, B moves perpendicular to line of motion of A. It means velocity of B along A is equal to velocity of A
$\begin{array}{l} {V _ {B} \cos 3 0 = 1 0 0 \sqrt {3}} \\ {V _ {B} = 2 0 0} \end{array}$
If A is observer A remains stationary therefore
$t = \frac {5 0 0}{V _ {B} \sin 3 0} = \frac {5 0 0}{1 0 0} = 5$
As observed from A, B moves perpendicular to line of motion of A. It means velocity of B along A is equal to velocity of A
$\begin{array}{l} {V _ {B} \cos 3 0 = 1 0 0 \sqrt {3}} \\ {V _ {B} = 2 0 0} \end{array}$
If A is observer A remains stationary therefore
$t = \frac {5 0 0}{V _ {B} \sin 3 0} = \frac {5 0 0}{1 0 0} = 5$
