A bullet is fired horizontally from a gun with a speed of in order to hit a target away. From what height above the target should the gun be aimed? (The resistance of air is negligible and ,

An object is kept fixed at the point and on a plank raised above the ground. At time the plank starts moving along the direction with an acceleration At the same instant a stone is projected from the origin with a velocity as shown. A stationary person on the ground observes the stone hitting the object during its downward motion at an angle of to the horizontal. All the motions are in the plane. Find and the time after which the stone hits the object. Take

Two guns situated on the top of a hill of height fire one shot each with the same speed at some interval of time. One gun fires horizontally and other fires upwards at an angle of with the horizontal. The shots collide in air at point . Find the time interval between the firings.
