A ball is thrown at an angle \(\theta_0\) above the horizontal, and follows the parabolic path taken by a projectile. Let its speed be \(v\) when its trajectory makes an angle \(\theta\) with the horizontal. Assuming \(A\) to be a constant,
1. \(v=A\cos\theta\)
2. \(v=A\sin\theta\)
3. \(v=A\tan\theta\)
4. \(v=A\sec\theta\)

Two guns, mounted along the forward and rear directions of a moving railroad car, are firing at the same angle (relative to the car). The shells rise to a height of 500 m. The forward range of the shells is more than the backward gun's range by 200m. The speed of the railroad car is (take g = 10 m/s2)
Hint: The range is increased/decreased due to the movement of the car by Vcar·Tshell.

1. 5 m/s

2. 10 m/s

3. 20 m/s

4. 40 m/s

The average velocity of a projectile from the point of projection to impact is \(v_1\) while the average velocity from projection to maximum height\((H)\) is \(v_2\).
It can be concluded that:
 
1. \(v_1>v_2\)
2. \(v_1<v_2\)
3. \(v_1=v_2\)
4. Any of the above can be true depending on the angle of projection

A ball is thrown up with a speed \(u\) at an angle of \(60^{\circ}\) with the horizontal; the thrower of the ball runs with a uniform speed \(v\) and stops suddenly when he reaches a certain point. He observes that the ball is at its maximum height, and then waits until it reaches him. Then
1. \(v=4u\)
2. \(v=2u\)
3. \(v=u\)
4. \(v<u\)

The average velocity component in the horizontal direction, for a projectile projected with an initial speed u, at an angle of \(\theta\) with the horizontal is v, when the average is calculated between the point of projection and the topmost point of the trajectory.
Then, the maximum height reached (H) is related to these quantities by

1. \(u^2=\frac{v^2}{2}+gH\)

2. \(u^2=\frac{v^2}{2}-gH\)

3. \(u^2=v^2+2gH\)

4. \(u^2=v^2-2gH\)
