  • A
    $2:1$
  • B
    $1:2$
  • C
    $1:1$

$A$ body is projected at $t = 0$ with a velocity $10\,ms^{-1}$ at an angle of $60^\circ$ with the horizontal. The radius of curvature of its trajectory at $t = 1\,s$ is $R$. Neglecting air resistance and taking acceleration due to gravity $g = 10\,ms^{-2}$,the value of $R$ is ........ $m$.

$A$ ball can be thrown to a maximum horizontal distance of $100\,m$. To what maximum height can it be thrown?

For a projectile,the maximum height and horizontal range are same. The angle of projection $\theta$ of the projectile is

Assertion $(A)$: The velocity of a projectile at a point on its trajectory is equal to the slope at that point.
Reason $(R)$: The velocity vector at a point is always along the tangent to the trajectory at that point.

If we can throw a ball up to a maximum height $H$,the maximum horizontal distance to which we can throw it is
