Projection Under uniform Acceleration
Question

A body is projected up a smooth inclined plane with velocity V from the point A as shown in the figure. The angle of inclination is 45o and the
top is connected to a well of diameter 40 m. If the body just manages to cross the well, what is the value of V? Length of inclined plane is 202 m.

Moderate
Solution

Angle of projection from B is 45o. As the body is able to cross the well of diameter 40 m, hence

or R = v2g or v = gR

v = 10×40 = 20 ms-1

On the inclined plane, the retardation is:

g sin α = g sin 450 = 102ms-2

Using v2-u2 = 2ax

    (20)2-u2 = 2 ×(-102)×202

u = 202 ms-1 i.e., V = 202 ms-1
