A ball is thrown from a point with a speed v0 at an angle of

projection 0. From the same point and at the same instant a
person starts running with a constant speed v0/2 to catch the
ball. Will the person be able to catch the ball? If yes, what
should be the angle of projection?
(b) yes, 30
(a) yes, 60
(d) yes, 45.

(c) no

24. A car moving with a speed of 50 km/hr, can be stopped by

brakes after at least 6 m. If the same car is moving at a speed
of 100 km/hr, the minimum stopping distance is

(b) 18 m
(c) 24 m
(a) 12 m

25. A boy playing on the roof of a 10 m high building throws a
ball with a speed of 10 m/s at an angle of 30 with the
horizontal. How far from the throwing point will the ball be

sin30 = 1/2, cos30 =75/2]

(a) 5.20 m
(c) 2.60 m

(b) 4.33 m

thrown upwards and B downwards (both vertically). If vA and
vB are their respective velocities on reaching the ground, then
(a) vB > vA

(c) vA > vB

(d) their velocities depend on their masses.

(a) 1 : 1

(b) 1 : 4

(c) 1:8

(d) 1 : 16.

a wooden block, then how much will it penetrate more before
coming to rest?
(d) 4 cm.

28. Speeds of two identical cars are u and 4 u at a specific instant.

If the same deceleration is applied on both the cars, the ratio
of the respective distances in which the two cars are stopped
from that instant is

30. Two forces are such that the sum of their magnitudes is 18 N
and their resultant is 12 N which is perpendicular to the
smaller force. Then the magnitudes of the forces are
(b) 13 N, 5 N
(a) 12 N, 6 N
(d) 16 N, 2 N.
