The ball will cover the same distance as only velocity's direction is changed magnitude is the same. So the same distance will be covered in opposite direction.

Now from the figure it's clear,
2x = R2
⇒ x = R4
⇒A Stone Is Projected From A Horizontal Plane. It Attains Max...
So it means I have to find the height of the ball when it has travelled 3R4 along the x-axis.
Method I
Assume initial speed of projection is u and angle θ
⇒ ucosθt = 3R4
⇒ t = 3R4ucosθ ..........(1)
h = usinθt−12gt2 ..........(2)
substituting (I) in (II) we get
h = usinθ×3R4ucosθ−12g9R216u2cos2θ
we know Rin this case is 2u2sinθcosθg
⇒ h = usinθX3X2u2sinθcosθ24ucosθg−12g9×4u42sin2θcos2θg2g×164u2cos2θ
h = 3u2sin2θ2g−9u2sin2θ8g
h = u2sin2θ2g[3−94]
we know u2sin2θ2g = H
⇒ h = 34H.
Method II
Equation of trajectory
y = xtanθ−t2tanθR
y = h
x = 3R4
⇒ h=3R4tanθ−9R2R16tanθR
h=3×2×u2sinθcosθsinθ24×gcosθ−9×2u2sinθcosθsinθ816×u2×gcosθ
h = 3u2sin2θ2g−9u2sin2θ8g
h=u2sin2θ2g(3−94)
h = 34H.
Question 12. A body is projected up a smooth inclined plane (length = 20√2m ) with velocity u from the point M as shown in the figure. The angle of inclination is 45∘ and the top is connected to a well of diameter 40 m. If the body just manages to cross the well, what is the value of v

:
D
At point N angle of projection of the body will be 45∘. Let velocity of projection at this point is v. If the body just manages to cross the well then
Range = Diameter of well
v2sin2θg=40[Asθ=45∘]v2=400⇒v=20m/s
But we have to calculate the velocity (u) of the body at point M.
For motion along the inclined plane (from M to N)
Final velocity (v) = 20 m/s, acceleration (a) = −gsinα=−gsin45∘, distance of inclined plane (s) = 20√2m
(20)2=u2−2g√2.20√2[Usingv2=u2+2as]u2=202+400⇒u=20√2m/s.

Answer: Option C. -> u sin θ
:
C
Since horizontal component of velocity remain always constant therefore only vertical component of velocity changes.
Initially vertical component usinθ
Finally it becomes zero. So change in velocity =usinθ
Question 15. A particle of mass 100 g is fired with a velocity 20 m sec1 making an angle of 30 with the horizontal. When it rises to the highest point of its path then the change in its momentum is

D
Horizontal momentum remains always constant. So change in vertical momentum (Δp) = Final vertical momentum – Initial vertical momentum =musinθ
|ΔP|=0.1×20×sin30=1kgm/sec
