Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): If two particles move with uniform accelerations in different directions, then their relative velocity changes in direction. 
Reason (R): Since the acceleration are in different directions, there is a relative acceleration and hence the relative velocity changes. 
 
1. (A) is True but (R) is False.
2. (A) is False but (R) is True.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
4. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

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
