If a stone is to hit a point which is at a horizontal distance $d$ and at a vertical height $h$ above the point from where the stone is launched,what is the initial speed $u$ if the stone is launched at an angle $\theta$?

  • A
    $\frac{g}{\cos \theta} \sqrt{\frac{d}{2(d \tan \theta - h)}}$
  • B
    $\frac{d}{\cos \theta} \sqrt{\frac{g}{2(d \tan \theta - h)}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{g d^2}{h \cos^2 \theta}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{g d^2}{(d - h)}}$

Which of the following remains constant for a projectile fired from the earth?

The equation of motion of a projectile is $y = ax - bx^2$,where $a$ and $b$ are constants. Match the Column-$I$ with Column-$II$:
Column-$I$Column-$II$
$i)$ The initial velocity of projection$a)$ $\sqrt{\frac{g(1+a^2)}{2b}}$
$ii)$ The horizontal range of projectile$b)$ $\frac{a}{b}$
$iii)$ The maximum height attained by projectile$c)$ $\frac{a^2}{4b}$

$A$ particle $(A)$ is dropped from a height and another particle $(B)$ is thrown in a horizontal direction with a speed of $5 \; m/s$ from the same height. The correct statement is:

$A$ ball is projected with kinetic energy $E$, at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ to the horizontal. The kinetic energy of this ball at the highest point of its flight will be:

$A$ ball is projected from the ground at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal from a distance $d_1$ from the foot of a pole. It just touches the top of the pole and then falls on the ground at a distance $d_2$ from the pole on the other side. The height of the pole is ...........
