A mortar fires a projectile at an angle of 60° with the horizontal with a muzzle velocity of 200 fps. An enemy is advancing directly towards the position of the mortar on a level ground at an average speed of 20 fps. What should be the distance of the tank from the mortar at the instant the mortar is fired in order to hit the tank.

Question- An aircraft flying at a height of 800m with uniform horizontal velocity of 360km/hr releases a bomb which hits a target on the ground. Find (a) the time required for the bomb to reach the target, (b) the horizontal distance of the aircraft from the target when the bomb was released (c) direction and velocity with which the bomb hits the target.
A villain in a car traveling at 30 m/s fires a projectile along the direction of motion toward the front of the car with a launch speed of 50 m/s relative to the car. A hero standing nearby observes the projectile to travel straight up. What was the launch angle as viewed by the villain? What height does the projectile attain?
A projectile is fired vertically upward with an initial velocity of 1,800ft/sec. (a) How high does it rise? (b) What velocity will it have 5 sec afterleaving the gun? (c) What is its altitude 5 sec after leaving the gun?
21- A steel ball is thrown up with a velocity of 90 m/s from the ground. While coming down, it strikes a glass pan, held at half the height through which it has risen and loses 35% of its velocity in breaking the glass. Determine the time taken to reach the maximum height and the velocity with which it will strike the ground and total time taken to reach the ground. Solution The time taken to reach maximum height in seconds is The maximum height reached in m is The velocity of the stone when it hits the ground in m/s is The total time taken by the stone in seconds is
