PROBLEM 1
a) An object is launched with an initial velocity of 𝑣0 at an
angle of 𝜃 above the horizontal as shown in Figure. The
maximum height reached by this object is H (point A). If
the object hits the wall of height h (point B) as shown in
𝑯
Figure, find ratio. (The solutions with the conservation
𝒉
of the energy will not be accepted).

𝑟2 = 3 𝑟 which is initially at rest and lying on a flat and frictionless ice surface as shown in Figure. Assume that the
collision is perfectly inelastic (disks stick together) such that their rims just touch, and they instantly stick together from
point P and rotate with angular speed 𝜔 after the collision. Moment of inertia of a disk of mass 𝑚 and radius 𝑟 about
