is wind blowing due to which horizontal acceleration of the particle becomes 2 m/s2. Find the horizontal
displacement (in m) of particle till it reaches the ground. (Take g = 10 m/s2 )

3. A child moving on a smooth horizontal ground throws a ball with speed 10 m/s at 60º from horizontal with
respect to himself. Ball strikes a wall at a distance 10 m from the point of projection after 1 sec of projection.
What was the velocity (in m/s) with which the child was moving?

4. A cricketer can throw a ball to a maximum horizontal distance of 10 m. With the same effort, he throws the
ball vertically upwards. What is the maximum height attained by the ball (in m)?

5. A body is projected at an angle 60° with the horizontal ground with kinetic energy 21 J. When the velocity
makes an angle 30° with the horizontal, what is the kinetic energy (in J) of the body?

6. A stone is thrown from the top of a vertical column at a certain angle above the horizontal. It strikes the
ground twice as far as it would have struck it if it had been thrown from the bottom of the column with the
same initial velocity at same angle from horizontal. In this latter case the stone would fly during a time
T = 2 sec. Find the height of the column (in m).
