A ball is thrown from the location $\left(x_0, y_0\right)=(0,0)$ of a horizontal playground with an initial speed $v_0$ at an angle $\theta_0$ from the $+x$-direction. The ball is to be hit by a stone, which is thrown at the same time from ...

A person of height $1.6 \mathrm{~m}$ is walking away from a lamp post of height $4 \mathrm{~m}$ along a straight path on the flat ground. The lamp post and the person are always perpendicular to the ground. If the speed of the person is $60...

A projectile is fired from horizontal ground with speed $v$ and projection angle $\theta$. When the acceleration due to gravity is $g$, the range of the projectile is $d$. If at the highest point in its trajectory, the projectile enters a d...

Starting at time t = 0 from the origin with speed 1 ms-1, a particle follows a two-dimensional trajectory in the x-y plane so that its coordinates are related by the equation \(y = {{{x^2}} \over 2}\). The x and y components of its accelera...
