Two bodies are projected with the same velocity. If one is projected at an angle of 30o and the other at an angle of 60o to the horizontal, the ratio of the maximum heights reached is:
Correct answer: B. 1 : 3
- A. 3 : 1
- B. 1 : 3
- C. 1 : 2
- D. 2 : 1
Explanation
This is the correct solution:When comparing the maximum heights of two bodies projected at 30° and 60° to the horizontal with the same initial velocity, the ratio is 1:3.Explanation of other options:Option A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not consider the impact of the angle of projection on the vertical component of velocity and the maximum height reached. The correct ratio is 1:3 as explained in Option B.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.

One fielder throws a ball and in 4 seconds it reaches to another player. So, the maximum height reached by the ball above the point of projection would be about:
If the time of flight of a projectile is 10 seconds. The range is 500m. The maximum height attained by it will be:
To improve the jumping record, the long jumper should jump at an angle of:
Two balls are projected from the top of a tower of height 120 m, one with an initial upward velocity of 36 km/h and the other with an initial downward velocity of 36 km/h. The speed of each ball just before hitting the ground is: (take g = 10 m/s2 )
A ball thrown by one player reaches the other in 2 sec. The maximum height attained by the ball above the point of projection will be about:
A projectile is fired at 30o with momentum p. Neglecting friction, the change in kinetic energy when it returns to the ground will be:
