Q.

 A particle A is projected with an initial velocity of 60 m/s at an angle 300 to the horizontal. At the same time a second particle B is projected in opposite direction with initial speed of 50 m/s from a point at a distance of 100 m from  A. If the particles collide in air, = 10m/s2 then

Here
acceleration of A=aA=gj^acceleration of B=aB=gj^horizontal component of initial velocity of A=uAx=60cos30=303m/svertical component of initial velocity of A=uAy=60sin30=30m/shorizontal component of initial velocity of B=uBx=50cosα vertical component of initial velocity of A=uBy=50sinα
   
Relative acceleration between the two is zero . Hence, the relative motion between the two is uniform. Condition of collision is that it should be along AB. This is possible only when  component of relative velocity along y-axis is zero or

  30 = 50 sinα   α= sin13/5


uAB=uAxuBx uAB=(303+50cosα)m/s uAB=303+50×45 uAB=(303+40  )m/s
