A projectile is fired with initial velocity \(u\) at some angle \(θ\) has a range \(R\). If the initial velocity is doubled at the same angle of projection, then the range will be:
1. \(2 R\)
2. \(R/2\)
3. \(R\)
4. \(4 R\)
If the initial velocity of a projectile is doubled, keeping the angle of projection the same, the maximum height reached by it will:
1. Remain the same
2. Be doubled
3. Be quadrupled
4. Be halved
In the motion of a projectile under gravity, its:
1. Total energy is conserved
2. Momentum is conserved
3. Energy and momentum are both conserved
4. None is conserved
The range of a projectile for a given initial velocity is maximum when the angle of projection is \(45^°\). The range will be minimum if the angle of projection is:
1. \(90^°\)
2. \(180^°\)
3. \(60^°\)
4. \(75^°\)
A ball is thrown upwards and it returns to the ground describing a parabolic path. Which of the following remains constant?
(1) Kinetic energy of the ball
(2) Speed of the ball
(3) Horizontal component of velocity
(4) Vertical component of velocity
| 1. | perpendicular to each other. |
| 2. | parallel to each other. |
| 3. | inclined to each other at an angle of \(45^\circ\). |
| 4. | antiparallel to each other. |
An object is thrown along a direction inclined at an angle of \(45^°\) with the horizontal direction. The horizontal range of the particle is equal to:
1. Vertical height
2. Twice the vertical height
3. Thrice the vertical height
4. Four times the vertical height
The height y and the distance \(x\) along the vertical plane of a projectile on a certain planet (with no surrounding atmosphere) are given by \(𝑦 = ( 8 𝑡 − 5t^ 2 )\) meter and \(x = 6t\) meter, where \(t\) is in seconds. The velocity with which the projectile is projected is:
1. \(8\ \text{m/s}\)
2. \(6\ \text{m/s}\)
3. \(10\ \text{m/s}\)
4. Not obtainable from the data
Referring to above question, the angle with the horizontal at which the projectile was projected is
(1) tan–1(3/4)
(2) tan–1(4/3)
(3) sin–1(3/4))
(4) Not obtainable from the given data
Referring to the above two questions, the acceleration due to gravity is given by
(1) 10 m/sec2
(2) 5 m/sec2
(3) 20 m/sec2
(4) 2.5 m/sec2
