A projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of 5 m s-1 and angle θ with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a velocity of 3 m s-1 at the same angle follows a trajectory which is identical with the trajectory of the projectile fired from the earth. The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is: (given =9.8 m s-2)

A small boy is throwing a ball towards a wall 6 m in front of him. He releases the ball at a height of 1.4 m from the ground. The ball bounces from the wall at a height of 3 m, rebounds from the ground and reaches the boy's hand exactly at the point of release. Assuming the two bounces (one from the wall and the other from the ground) to be perfectly elastic, how far ahead of the boy did the ball bounce from the ground?

Two long parallel plates A and B are separated by a distance of 4 cm with an electric field of 45.5 V m-1 between the plates directed normally from plate A to plate B, as shown in the figure.
