A man is at a distance of 6 m from a bus. The bus begins to move with a constant acceleration of 3ms.In order to catch the bus, the minimum speed with which the man should run towards the bus is
2 m s-1
4 m s-1
6 m s-1
8 m s-1
A gun of mass 10 kg fires 4 bullets per second. The mass of each bullet is 20 g and the velocity of the bullet when it leaves the gun is 300 m s-1. The force required to hold the gun when firing is

A ball is dropped from the top of a building 100 m high. At the same instant another ball is thrown upwards with a velocity of 40 m/s from the bottom of the building. The two balls will meet after
3 s
2 s
2.5 s
5 s
C.
2.5 s
Let balls meet after t s. The distance travelled by the ball coming down is
s1 = gt2
Distance travelled by the other ball
s2 = 40 t gt2
s1 + s2 = 100 m
∴ gt2 + 40 t gt2 = 100m
t =
∴ t = 2.5 s
