A ball is thrown from a point with a speed ν₀ at an angle of projection θ. From the same point and at the same instant person starts running with a constant speed $${{{v_0}} \over 2}$$ to catch the ball. Will the person be able to catch the ball? If yes, what should be the angle of projection θ?

Two masses $${m_1} = 5kg$$ and $${m_2} = 4.8kg$$ tied to a string are hanging over a light frictionless pulley. What is the acceleration of the masses when left free to move? $$\left( {g = 9.8m/{s^2}} \right)$$

A block rests on a rough inclined plane `making an angle of $${30^ \circ }$$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is $$0.8.$$ If the frictionless force on the block is $$10$$ $$N,$$ the mass of the block (in $$kg$$) is $$\left( {take\,\,\,g\, = \,10\,\,m/{s^2}} \right)$$

A particle moves in a straight line with retardation proportional to its displacement. Its loss of kinetic energy for any displacement $$x$$ is proportional to
