At the top of the trajectory of a projectile, the directions of its velocity and acceleration are:
1. | Perpendicular to each other |
2. | Parallel to each other |
3. | Inclined to each other at an angle of \(45^\circ\) |
4. | Antiparallel to each other |
An object is thrown along a direction inclined at an angle of 45° with the horizontal direction. The horizontal range of the particle is equal to
(1) Vertical height
(2) Twice the vertical height
(3) Thrice the vertical height
(4) Four times the vertical height
The height y and the distance x along the vertical plane of a projectile on a certain planet (with no surrounding atmosphere) are given by meter and x = 6t meter, where t is in second. The velocity with which the projectile is projected is

(2) 6 m/sec
(3) 10 m/sec
(4) Not obtainable from the data
Referring to above question, the angle with the horizontal at which the projectile was projected is
(1) tan–1(3/4)
(2) tan–1(4/3)
(3) sin–1(3/4))
(4) Not obtainable from the given data
Referring to the above two questions, the acceleration due to gravity is given by
(1) 10 m/sec2
(2) 5 m/sec2
(3) 20 m/sec2
(4) 2.5 m/sec2
The range of a particle when launched at an angle of 15° with the horizontal is 1.5 km. What is the range of the projectile when launched at an angle of 45° to the horizontal

Galileo writes that for angles of projection of a projectile at angles and , the horizontal ranges described by the projectile are in the ratio of (if )
1. 2 : 1
2. 1 : 2
3. 1 : 1
4. 2 : 3
A projectile thrown with a speed v at an angle θ has a range R on the surface of earth. For same v and θ, its range on the surface of moon will be (acceleration due to gravity on moon=):
