Conditional:

Elastic collision with wall

If a wall is in the path of a projectile at a distance  x  from the starting point and the collision is elastic then:
  1. t f  and  H  remain the same , distance covered after the collision will be in opposite  x  direction and same  y  direction as distance covered before collision
  2. If  x R 2  landing spot is at distance  2 x R  from the launch point in the same  x  direction as initial velocity
  3. If  x R 2  landing spot is at distance  R 2 x  from the launch point in the opposite  x  direction to initial velocity

Projectile on inclined plane

For up the plane:

  • The angle of inclination is  α
  • The acute angle of projectile be  θ
  • t f = 2 u sin θ g cos α
  • R = u 2 [ sin ( 2 θ + α ) sin α ] g cos 2 α
  • R  is max when  θ = π 4 α 2  and , R max = u 2 g ( 1 + sin α )
  • Max distance from inclined plane = u 2 sin 2 θ 2 g cos α

For down the plane replace α with -α to get the corrected expressions

Minimum distance between 2 moving bodies:

Initial distance  = L Angle made between  V rel and initial displacement = θ Angles made by the moving bodies be  α  and  β  and , velocities be  V a , V b

For collision:

  • | V a | sin α = | V b | sin β
  • Time taken to collide = L | V a | cos α + | V b | cos β

Floor is being accelerated:

Up:

N = m (   g + a   )

Down:

N = m (   g a   )

If a>g:

Lose contact with floor

If ceiling is accelerating with floor:
Will hit ceiling if enough time and  N = m (   a g   )
If no ceiling or fixed ceiling:

Will free fall

If a>g and bound to the floor:
Force felt by binding object = m (   a g   )

Motion of accelerating bodies with forces:

If no friction:

Only bodies with external force will move , use standard kinetics and  a = F m
