Neglecting the air resistance, the time of flight of a projectile is determined by:

1. \(U_{vertical}\)

2. \(U_{horizontal}\)

3. \(U = U^2_{vertical} + U^2_{horizontal}\)

4. \(U = (U^2_{vertical} + U^2_{horizontal} )^{1/2}\)

A ball is thrown from a point with a speed \(v_0\) at an angle of projection \(θ\). From the same point and at the same instant, a person starts running with a constant speed \(v_0/2\) to catch the ball. Will the person be able to catch the ball? If yes, what should be the angle of projection?

1. Yes, \(60^°\)

2. Yes, \(30^°\)

3. No

4. Yes, \(45^°\)

2. \( 2\sqrt{\dfrac{2H}{g}}\)

3.  \(\dfrac{2\sqrt{2H}\sin\theta}{g}\)

A particle is moving eastwards with a velocity of \(5\ \text{m/s}\). In \(10\) seconds, the velocity changes to \(5\ \text{m/s}\) northwards. The average acceleration in this time is:

1. Zero

2. \(\frac 1{\sqrt2} \ \text{m/s}^2\) toward north-west 

3. \(\frac 1{\sqrt2} \ \text{m/s}^2\) toward north-east
