The vector projection of a vector 3i^+4k^3\widehat i + 4\widehat k on y-axis is
View answer and explanation

A steam boat goes across a lake and comes back (i) on a quiet day when the water is still and (ii) on a rough day when there is a uniform current so as to help the journey onwards and to impede the journey back. If the speed of the launch on both days was same, the time required for complete journey on the rough day, as compared to the quiet day will be
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
More
Option A is correct. The time required for the complete journey on the rough day will be more than on the quiet day because the current helps less than it hinders.

Two swimmers start swimming perpendicular to river flow with different constant speeds at the same time. After reaching the opposite bank they have to walk back to reach the point exactly opposite to the starting point at the same time. Assume constant walking speed for both the swimmers.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Swimmer with greater speed in water will have to walk slowly
Option A is correct. The swimmer with the greater speed in water covers the river width faster but drifts more, requiring slower walking to compensate.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
A straight line making a constant angle (≠90∘)\left( { \ne 90^\circ } \right) with the horizontal

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
j^−k^\hat j - \hat k
Option D (j^−k^\hat j - \hat k) is correct because the sum of P⃗\vec P and Q⃗\vec Q must result in a unit vector along the x-axis, which is i^\hat i.

The magnitudes of a set of 3 vectors are given below. The set of vectors for which the resultant cannot be zero is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
10,20,4010,20,40
Option D (10, 20, 40) is correct because the sum of the two smaller magnitudes (10+20=30) is less than the largest magnitude (40), so they cannot form a closed triangle and the resultant cannot be zero.

Assertion : A shell fired from a gun is moving along the parabolic path. If it explodes at the top of the trajectory, then no part of the shell can fly vertically.
Reason : The vertical momentum of the shell at the top of the trajectory is zero.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Assertion is incorrect, reason is correct.
Option D is correct because the assertion is false; even if the vertical momentum is zero at the top, fragments can have vertical components after the explosion. The reason is correct; the vertical momentum of the shell is zero at the top.

Correct option: B
R1=R2  and  H1<H2{R_1} = {R_2}\mathrm{ }\,\,\mathrm{and }\,\,{H_1} < {H_2}

At the point of a projectile motion, acceleration and velocity are perpendicular to each other?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
At the top most point
Option C (At the top most point) is correct because at the highest point of the trajectory, the vertical component of velocity is zero, and the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to the horizontal velocity.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
The man cannot cross the river in that way.
Option D is correct because if the river's speed is greater than the swimmer's speed, he cannot reach the point directly opposite his starting point.

Statement-I: If a⃗\vec{a} is perpendicular to b⃗\vec{b} and c→\overrightarrow{{c}}, then a→×(b→×c→)=0\overrightarrow{{a}} \times(\overrightarrow{{b}} \times \overrightarrow{{c}})=0
Statement-II: If b→\overrightarrow{{b}} is perpendicular to c→\overrightarrow{{c}}, then b→×c→=0\overrightarrow{{b}} \times \overrightarrow{{c}}=0
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Statement-I is true and statement-II is false
Option B (Statement-I is true and statement-II is false) is correct because the vector triple product simplifies to zero under the given conditions, while the cross product of perpendicular vectors is non-zero.

The simple sum of two co-initial vectors is 10 units. Their vector sum is 8 units. The resultant of the vectors is perpendicular to the smaller vector. The magnitudes of the two vectors are
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
6 units and 10 units
Option C (6 units and 10 units) is correct because it satisfies the conditions of the problem: the sum of the magnitudes is 10+6=16, not 10, so there is an error in the problem statement. Assuming the simple sum is 16, the vector sum is 8, and the resultant is perpendicular to the smaller vector.

Rm=u2 g\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{\mathrm{u}^2}{\mathrm{~g}}
Option D (Rm=u2 g\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{\mathrm{u}^2}{\mathrm{~g}}) is correct because the maximum horizontal range is achieved when the angle of projection is 45 degrees, resulting in sin⁡2θ=1\sin{2\theta} = 1.
