seconds and the coefficients have the proper units for r to be in metres. (a) Find
v(t) and a(t) of the particle.
(b) Find the magnitude and direction of v(t) at t = 1.0 s. [3 mks]

2. A particle starts from origin at t = 0 with a velocity 5.0 î m/s and moves in x-y plane
under action of a force which produces a constant acceleration of (3.0 i+2.0 j)

(b)What is the speed of the particle at this time ? [3 mks]

horizontally with an initial speed of 15 m s-1. Neglecting air resistance, find the
time taken by the stone to reach the ground, and the speed with which it hits the
ground. (Take g = 9.8 m s-2 ). [3 mks]

4. A cricket ball is thrown at a speed of 28 m s–1 in a direction 30° above the


horizontal. Calculate (a) the maximum height, (b) the time taken by the ball to
return to the same level, and
(c) the distance from the thrower to the point where the ball returns to the same level

steadily and completes 7 revolutions in 100 s. (a) What is the angular speed, and

What is its magnitude ? [3 mks]

high above the ground can the cricketer throw the same ball ? [2 mks]

particle at t = 2.0 s ? [3 mks]

speed of the aircraft ? [2 mks]

14. A fighter plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 1.5 km with speed 720
km/h passes directly overhead an anti-aircraft gun. At what angle from the
vertical should the gun
be fired for the shell with muzzle speed 600 m s-1 to hit the plane ? At
what minimum altitude should the pilot fly the plane to avoid being hit ?
(Take g = 10 m s-2 ). [3 mks]

15 A cyclist is riding with a speed of 27 km/h. As he approaches a circular


turn on the road of radius 80 m, he applies brakes and reduces his speed

0.50 m/s every second. What is the magnitude and direction of the net
acceleration of the cyclist on the circular turn ? [3
mks]
