An object A is kept fixed at the point
x = 3 m and y = 1.25 m on a plank P
raised above the ground. At time t = 0,
the plank starts moving along the x-
direction with an acceleration 1.5 ms^(−2) .
At the same instant a stone is projected
from the origin with a velocity u^→ as
shown. A stationary person on the
ground observe the stone hitting the
object during its downward motion at
an angle of 45° with the horizontal.
Take g = 10 m/s^2 and consider all
motions in the x-y plane.
1. The time after which the stone hits
the object is
2. The initial velocity (u^→ ) of the
particle is
