प्रश्न
A boy travelling in an open car moving on a levelled road with constant speed tosses a ball vertically up in the air and catches it back. Sketch the motion of the ball as observed by a boy standing on the footpath. Give explanation to support your diagram.
उत्तर
Let the vertical velocity of the tossed ball be v and the speed of the car be u which must be equal to the horizontal velocity of the ball.
The ball has both components of motion, hence it will have a parabolic trajectory when observed from a distance. This can be shown in the figure below.
When this motion is observed by the boy sitting in the car, it will look like only a vertically up-down motion and he will catch the ball when it comes back to the ground if the car has a constant velocity.

A cricket fielder can throw the cricket ball with a speed vo. If he throws the ball while running with speed u at an angle θ to the horizontal, find
- the effective angle to the horizontal at which the ball is projected in air as seen by a spectator.
- what will be time of flight?
- what is the distance (horizontal range) from the point of projection at which the ball will land?
- find θ at which he should throw the ball that would maximise the horizontal range as found in (iii).
- how does θ for maximum range change if u > vo, u = vo, u < vo?
- how does θ in (v) compare with that for u = 0 (i.e.45)?
