An object is projected with a velocity of 80ms-1 at an angle of 30o to the horizontal.The maximum height reached is
A
20m
B
80m
C
160m
D
320m
correct option: b
max. height = \(\frac{U^2\sin^2\theta}{2g}\)
= \(\frac{80 \times 80 \times \sin^2(30)}{2 \times 10}\)
= 80m
Users' Answers & Comments= \(\frac{80 \times 80 \times \sin^2(30)}{2 \times 10}\)
= 80m

A motor vehicle is brought to rest from a speed of 15ms-1 in 20 seconds. Calculate the retardation.
A
0.75ms-1
B
1.33ms-2
C
5.00ms-2
D
7.50ms-2
correct option: a
Retardation = \(\frac{u - v}{t}\)
= \(\frac{15 -0}{20}\)
= 0.75ms-1
Users' Answers & Comments= \(\frac{15 -0}{20}\)
= 0.75ms-1

B
14\(\pi\)
C
70\(\pi\)
D
140\(\pi\)
correct option: d
V.R = \(\frac{2\pi L}{p}\)
= \(\frac{2 \times \pi \times 2}{0.3}\)
V.R = 140\(\pi\)
Users' Answers & Comments= \(\frac{2 \times \pi \times 2}{0.3}\)
V.R = 140\(\pi\)
