A truck is moving with a constant velocity of 54 kmh-1. In which direction (angle with the direction of motion of truck) should a stone be projected up with a velocity of 20 ms-1, from the floor of the truck, so as to appear at right angles to the truck, for a person standing on earth?

Detailed Solution
Let the stone be projected at an angle α to the direction of motion of truck with a speed of v = 20 ms-1. Since the resultant displacement along horizontal is zero, the velocity along horizontal is 0.15+20cosα=0⇒ cosα=−34⇒ α=cos−1−34=138∘35′
