Speed = 722 × 100060 × 60 = 722 × 518 = 202 m s- 1. The distance moved by the car in time t = 202 × t. The distance moved by the shell of gun in time t = u cos 45 × t .the time when shell hits the car, the distance moved is given by, 50 + 202 t = u × 12 × t. - - - 1t = 2u sin 45g = 2ug2 - - - 2 from eqn 1 and 2, we get, 50 + 202 × 2 ug2 = u × 12 × 2ug 2 or 50 + 4u = u 210 = u2 - 40u - 500. u = 40 ± 1600 + 20002 or u = 20 ± 30. or u = 50m s - 1. therefore distance when shell hits the car= u210 = 250010 = 250m.
