1. Two guns, situated at the top of a hill of height 10 m, fire one shot each with the same speed 5√3
m/s at some interval of time. One gun fires horizontally and other fires upwards at an angle of 60°
with the horizontal. The shots collide in air at a point P. Find (a) the time interval between the
firings, and (b) the coordinates of the point P. Take origin of the coordinates system at the foot of the
hill right below the muzzle and trajectories in X-Y plane.

2. The trajectory of a projectile in a vertical plane is y = ax – bx2, where a, b are constants & x and y

3. A large heavy box is sliding without friction down a smooth plane of inclination q. From a point P
on the bottom of a box, a particle is projected inside the box. The initial speed of

bottom of the box between the point of projection P and the point Q where the
particle lands. (Assume that the particle does not hit any other surface of the box.
Neglect air resistance). (b) If the horizontal displacement of the particle as seen
by an observer on the ground is zero, find the speed of the box with respect to
the ground at the instant when the particle was projected.

of 45° with the x-axis, a ball is thrown along the surface from the origin O. Its
velocity makes an angle f with the x-axis and it hits the trolley. (a) The motion of
