Question:

A plane is inclined at an angle $\alpha = 30^{\circ}$ with a respect to the horizontal. A particle is projected with a speed $u = 2 ms^{-1}$ from the base of the plane, making an angle $q = 15^{\circ}$ with respect to the plane as shown in the figure. The distance from the base, at which the particle hits the plane is close to : (Take $g = 10 \; ms^{-2}$)

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$t = \frac{2\times2\times\sin 15^{\circ}}{g \cos 30^{\circ}} $
$ S= 2 \cos 15^{\circ} \times t - \frac{1}{2} g \sin30^{\circ} t^{2} $
Put values and solve
S $\simeq$ 20cm

Motion in a Plane

It is a vector quantity. A vector quantity is a quantity having both magnitude and direction. Speed is a scalar quantity and it is a quantity having a magnitude only. Motion in a plane is also known as motion in two dimensions. 

Equations of Plane Motion

The equations of motion in a straight line are:

v=u+at

s=ut+½ at2

v2-u2=2as

Where,

  • v = final velocity of the particle
  • u = initial velocity of the particle
  • s = displacement of the particle
  • a = acceleration of the particle
  • t = the time interval in which the particle is in consideration
