(iii) Total time of flight
(iv) Velocity of fall at the point of projection=u downwards
:

KINEMATIC GRAPH:
Slope ofthe displacement time graph at any particular time gives the magnitude ofthe instantaneous
velocity at that particular time.
Slope ofthe v -1 graph will give the magnitude of the instantaneous acceleration.
The area between the v - t graph, the time axis and the ordinates erected at the
beginning & end oftime interval considered will represent the total displacement of the body.
5.
RELATIVE VELOCITY:
(a) Velocity of 'A' relative to 'B' is given by V = V - V
V refers to the velocity which 'A' appears to have as seen by B. The above idea of 1
dimensional relative motion can be extended to motion in 2 dimensions.
(b) Angular velocity of A relative to B i.e. co is given by

(actual path of motion) is a parabola. The horizontal component of velocity ucos a remains unchanged
