$A$ particle is projected from point $O$ with velocity $u$ at an angle $\alpha$ with the horizontal. If at point $P$,its velocity is perpendicular to the initial direction of projection,then find the time taken to reach from $O$ to $P$.

  • A
    $\frac{u \sin \alpha}{g}$
  • B
    $\frac{u \csc \alpha}{g}$
  • C
    $\frac{u \tan \alpha}{g}$
  • D
    $\frac{u \sec \alpha}{g}$

$A$ ball $P$ is projected at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical with a certain initial speed $u$. Another ball $Q$ of the same mass $m$ as that of ball $P$ is projected vertically upwards with the same initial speed $u$. At the highest point, the ratio of the potential energy of ball $P$ to that of ball $Q$ is $(\sin 30^{\circ} = 0.5)$.

$A$ cricket ball is thrown at a speed of $28 \; m/s$ in a direction $30^{\circ}$ above the horizontal. Calculate:
$(a)$ the maximum height,
$(b)$ the time taken by the ball to return to the same level,and
$(c)$ the distance from the thrower to the point where the ball returns to the same level.
