Question
Shown are several curves. Explain with reason, which ones amongst them can be possible trajectories traced by a projectile (neglect air friction).
✓
Answer
The trajectory of a projectile under gravitational force of earth is a conic section or parabolic or elliptical or its part whose focus must be the centre of the earth. Only (c) option amongst the given curves show the centre of the earth as the focus of trajectory.

A 2 kg block is kept at rest on a flat surface. A horizontal force $F$ on the block is gradually increased. When the value of $F$ becomes 8 N the block starts moving. Once the motion starts, it starts moving at a uniform speed only with the help of 7N force. Find out :
(i) Static and dynamic friction coefficient.
(ii) When the value of $F$ is 5 N , then the static friction force acting on the block is.
(iii) When the value of $F$ is again 8 N the acceleration of moving block. ( $g = 9 . 8 ~ m / s ^2$ )
