A projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of \(5\) ms–1 and at an angle \(\theta\) with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a velocity of \(3\) ms–1 at the same angle follows a trajectory that is identical to the trajectory of the projectile fired from the Earth. The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the other planet is: (given \(g=9.8\) ms–2)
1. \(3.5\) m/s2
2. \(5.9\) m/s2
3. \(16.3\) m/s2
4. \(110.8\) m/s2
The velocity of a projectile at the initial point \(A\) is \(2\hat i+3\hat j~\)m/s. Its velocity (in m/s) at point \(B\) is:
1. | \(-2\hat i+3\hat j~\) | 2. | \(2\hat i-3\hat j~\) |
3. | \(2\hat i+3\hat j~\) | 4. | \(-2\hat i-3\hat j~\) |
A missile is fired for a maximum range with an initial velocity of \(20\) m/s. If \(g=10\) m/s2, then the range of the missile will be:
1. | \(50\) m | 2. | \(60\) m |
3. | \(20\) m | 4. | \(40\) m |
A projectile is fired at an angle of \(45^\circ\) with the horizontal. The elevation angle \(\alpha\) of the projectile at its highest point, as seen from the point of projection is:
1. \(60^\circ\)
2. \(tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )\)
3. \(tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right )\)
4. \(45^\circ\)
The speed of a projectile at its maximum height is half of its initial speed. The angle of projection is:
1. \(15^{\circ}\)
2. \(30^{\circ}\)
3. \(45^{\circ}\)
4. \(60^{\circ}\)
A particle of mass m is projected with velocity v making an angle of 45° with the horizontal. When the particle lands on level ground, the magnitude of change in its momentum will be:
1.
2.
3.
4. zero
For a projectile projected at angles \((45^{\circ}-\theta)\) and \((45^{\circ}+\theta)\), the horizontal ranges described by the projectile are in the ratio of:
1. \(1:1\)
2. \(2:3\)
3. \(1:2\)
4. \(2:1\)
