L3 Q 14

A Submarine is traveling at 100 meters depth below water at velocity of

6m / sec. It locates enemy warship ahead on surface of water , It can fires
a torpedo at speed of 502 m/sec at 45 0 degree angle to horizontal.
Mass of torpedo is 2kg & volume 400cc. Find out horizontal distance H of
worship from submarine when torpedo should be fired such that it comes
out of water & hits the worship from top (ref figure below ).Neglect water
resistance, g =10m/sec2 (Ans = 476 meters)

1 km long They start marching ahead at constant speed. At the same
time a messenger starts from last solder, reaches first solider, gives
message & immediately walks back with return message .By the time
he reaches last solider the group has marched 1Km.Speed of
messenger is different but constant. Find distance traveled by
messenger
