Motion in a Plane

A particle starting from the origin (0, 0) moves in a straight line in the (x, y) plane. Its coordinates at a later time are ( 3, 3 ). The path of the particle makes with the x-axis an angle of

1. 45
2. 60
3. 0
4. 30

A car runs at a constant speed on a circular track of radius 100 m, taking 62.8 seconds for every circular lap. The average velocity and average speed for each circular lap respectively is

2. 0, 0
3. 0, 10 m/s
4. 10 m/s, 10 m/s.

For angles of projection of a projectile at angle (45 - ) and (45 + ), the horizontal range described by the projectile are in the ratio of

1. 2 : 1

4. 75

Two boys are standing at the ends A and B of a ground where AB = a. The boy at B starts running in a direction perpendicular to AB with velocity v1. The boy at A starts running simultaneously with velocity v and catches the other in a time t, where t is

1. a v2 + v12
2. av + v1
3. av - v1
4. a2v2 - v12

A stone tied to the end of a string of 1 m long is whirled in a horizontal circle with a constant speed. If the stone makes 22 revolutions in 44 seconds, what is the magnitude and direction of acceleration of the stone?
