  • Q1 · Kinematics · EASY

    A particle moves along a straight line such that its displacement x (in metres) at time t (in seconds) is given by x = 4t² + 2t + 1. What is the velocity of the particle at t = 2 s?

  • Q2 · Kinematics · MEDIUM

    A projectile is thrown from the ground at an angle of 30° with the horizontal with an initial velocity of 40 m/s. What is the maximum height reached by the projectile? (Take g = 10 m/s²)

  • Q3 · Kinematics · EASY

    Two vectors A and B have magnitudes 3 units and 4 units respectively. The angle between them is 60°. What is the magnitude of their resultant vector?

  • Q4 · Kinematics · MEDIUM

    A particle is moving in a circle of radius 5 m with a constant speed of 10 m/s. What is the magnitude of the change in velocity when the particle moves through an angle of 60°?

  • Q5 · Kinematics · HARD

    A projectile is fired at an angle θ with the horizontal from the top of a tower of height 60 m with an initial speed of 30 m/s. If the horizontal range is equal to the height of the tower, what is the value of tan θ? (Take g = 10 m/s²)
