Question 41. At what angle should a ball be projected up an inclined plane with a velocity so that it may hit the incline normally. The angle of the inclined plane with the horizontal is α.
  1.    θ=cot−1(12cot α)
  2.    θ=tan−1(12cot α)
  3.    θ=tan−1(12tan α)
  4.    θ=cot−1(12tan α)

B
At What Angle Should A Ball Be Projected Up An Inclined Plan...
As the ballhas to hit the inclined plane normally, so in that position the x-component of velocity will be zero and velocity will have y-component only.
The ball will hit the incline normally if its parallel component of velocity reduces to zero during the time of flight.
By analyzing this motion along incline, i.e., x-direction vx=ux+axt
Here vx=0,ux=v0cosθ,ax=gsinα
0=vocosθ(gsinα)TT=vocosθgsinα ........(i)
Also the displacement of the particle in y-direction will be zero. Using
y=uyt+12ayt20=vosinθ.T12gcosα.T2
This gives T = 2vosinθgcosα ...............(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we have vocosθgsinα=2vosinθgcosαcosθsinα=2sinθcosα2tanθtanα=1tanθ=[12cosα]
=tan1(12cotα) which is the required angle of projection.
Question 42. An aeroplane moving horizontally with a speed of 720 km/h drops a food packet, while flying at a height of 396.9 m. The time taken by a food packet to reach the ground and its horizontal range is (Take g=9.8 m/sec2)

Question 43. The figure shows two positions A and B at the same height h above the ground. If the maximum height of the projectile is H, then determine the time t elapsed between the positions A and B in terms of H.
The Figure Shows Two Positions A And B At The Same Height H ...
  1.    t = √8hg
  2.    t = √h8g
  3.    t = √8g(H−h)
  4.    t = √(H−h)8g
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> t = √8g(H−h)

C
The Figure Shows Two Positions A And B At The Same Height H ...
Time of flight for this part of motion (between points A and B, both at height h) assuming speed of projection to be v and angle of projection to be α
T=2vsinαg ---------(I)
Now we have to eliminate v & α as these variables we assumed.
Hmmmmm..........How do we do that, okay what else is given?
Yes, the maximum height i.e. (Hh).
(Hh) = v2sin2α2g ----------(II)
Thank goodness!
Now from equation (I) vsinα = Tg2
Equation (II) (Hh) = T2g24(2g)
(Hh) = gT28
T = 8(Hh)g
Question 44. A man is sitting on the shore of a river. He is in the line of a 1.0 m long boat and is 5.5 m away from the center of the boat. He wishes to throw an apple into the boat. If he can throw the apple only with a speed of 10 m/s, find the minimum and maximum angles of projection for successful shot. Assume that the point of Projection and the edge of the boat are in the same horizontal level.

A
A Man Is Sitting On The Shore Of A River. He Is In The Line ...
Let AB be the boat, to touch A, Range should be 5m.
u= 10 ms, g = 10m/s2, R = 5 m,
R = u2sin2θg 5 = 102sin2θ10 sin 2θ = 12
2θ = 30,15θ(as inπ-θ=sinθ)
θ = 15,75
To throw at B
R = 6m
6 = 102sin2θ10sin 2θ = 35
2θ = 37,143(sin(π-θ)= sin θ)
θ = 18.5,71.5
Minimum is 15 and maximum is 75
For a successful shot,
15θ18.5 and 71.5θ75
Minimum is 15 and maximum is 75. .
Question 45. A person standing on the top of a cliff, 171 ft high, has to throw a packet to his friend standing on the ground 228 ft horizontally away. If he throws the packet directly aiming at the friend with a speed of 15.0 ft/s, how short will the packet fall? Give g = 32 ft/s2.
  1.    36 feet
  2.    12 feet
  3.    0 feet the packet reaches his friend
  4.    192 feet

A Person Standing On The Top Of A Cliff, 171 ft High, Has T...
In the given figure we can find θ by using trigonometry.
tanθ = 171228 = 34
θ = 37.
This means the ball was thrown at an angle 37 to horizontal also its given that it was thrown with velocity 15 ft/s.
The dotted line shows how the trajectory of the ball thrown
So we know 2 D is nothing but 2 one dimensional motion.
Let's break the components:
uy = 15sin37 = 15×35 = 9ft/s
ay = 32ft/s2
sy = 171ft.
sy = uyt+12ayt2
171 = 9t322t2
16t2+9t171=0
16t2+57t48t171=0
t = 3sec
We need to know in that time the projectile covered how much of horizontal distance.
So ux=15cos37 = 15×45 = 12ft/s
ax = 0; t = 3
sx = uxt = 12×3 = 36ft
The packet went only 36 ft towards his friend
The packet fell short by (22836)
= 192ft.
