(N/A) The horizontal range $R$ of a projectile is given by $R = \frac{v^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g}$. For $R$ to be maximum,$\sin(2\theta) = 1$,which implies $2\theta = 90^{\circ}$,so $\theta = 45^{\circ}$.
$(b)$ For uniform circular motion,the acceleration is centripetal (directed towards the center) and the velocity is tangential. The angle between the tangent and the radius at the point of contact is $90^{\circ}$.
$(c)$ The magnitude of vector $\overrightarrow{A} = 4\widehat{i} + 3\widehat{j}$ is $|\overrightarrow{A}| = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5$.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ performs uniform circular motion of radius $r$ with linear speed $v$ under the application of force $F$. If $m$,$v$,and $r$ are all increased by $20 \%$,the necessary change in force required to maintain the particle in uniform circular motion is: (in $\%$)

One end of a rod of length $L=1 \,m$ is fixed to a point on the circumference of a wheel of radius $R=1 / \sqrt{3} \,m$. The other end is sliding freely along a straight channel passing through the centre $O$ of the wheel as shown in the figure. The wheel is rotating with a constant angular velocity $\omega$ about $O$. The speed of the sliding end $P$,when $\theta=60^{\circ}$ is

$A$ particle moving in a circle of radius $R$ with uniform speed takes time $T$ to complete one revolution. If this particle is projected with the same speed at an angle $\theta$ to the horizontal,the maximum height attained by it is equal to $4 R$. The angle of projection $\theta$ is then given by :
