PHYSICS MUSING
P hysics Musing was started in August 2013 issue of Physics For You. The aim of Physics Musing is to augment the chances of bright students
preparing for JEE (Main and Advanced) / AIIMS / NEET / Other PMTs with additional study material.
In every issue of Physics For You, 10 challenging problems are proposed in various topics of JEE (Main and Advanced) / various PMTs. The detailed
solutions of these problems will be published in next issue of Physics For You.
The readers who have solved five or more problems may send their detailed solutions with their names and complete address. The names of those who
send atleast five correct solutions will be published in the next issue.
We hope that our readers will enrich their problem solving skills through Physics Musing and stand in better stead while facing the competitive exams.

Step-IV: Examine the horizontal motion (motion
along x-axis) and vertical motion (motion along
y-axis) separately. Make the list for the known and
unknown kinematical physical quantities, one for
motion along x-axis and another for motion along
y-axis. Make two sets of equations, one for motion
along x-axis and another for motion along y-axis.
After writing appropriate kinematical equations in
component form, solve them. Think for a minute
before jumping into the equations. A little planning At the striking point Q, it strikes perpendicularly,
