1. The position of a particle moving in space varies with time t according as

x  a cos t
y  a sin t
z  kt

where a, and k are constants.

What is the minimum distance of the particle from the origin is

2.

A ball is projected from point O with speed 20 2 m/s at an angle 45o with the horizontal. Taking O as
the origin an horizontal and vertical directions as x and y axes respectively, the position of the ball
can be described as a function of time t as

x  20t
y  20t  5t2
There is a plane at a distance of 20 m from the point of projection O inclined at 45o to the horizontal
direction.
(i) Find the time t at which the ball hits the inclined plane.
(ii) Find the coordinates of the point of impact.

3. The position of a particle moving in xy  plane varies with time t according as

xt
y  3t  5
(i) What is the path traced by the particle?
(ii) What is the minimum distance of the particle from origin during its journey?
(iii) When is the particle closest to the origin?
(iv) When does the particle cross x  axis?

4. A ball is projected with speed 10 2 m/s at an angle of 45o with the horizontal. The position of the ball
varies with time t. Taking point of projection as the origin and, horizontal and vertical directions as x
and y  axes respectively, position of the ball can be described as
x  10t
y  10t  5t2
(i) What is the path traced by the ball?
(ii) What is the maximum height reached by the ball?

5. The position of a particle moving in xy  plane varies with time t according as

x  5  2cos t
y  3  2sin t,  is a cons tan t
What is the path traced by the particle?
