$A$ body is projected with a speed $u$ at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. The radius of curvature of the trajectory,when it makes an angle $\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)$ with the horizontal is ($g$ = acceleration due to gravity).

  • A
    $\frac{u^2 \cos ^2 \theta \sec ^3\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)}{\sqrt{3} g}$
  • B
    $\frac{u^2 \cos ^2 \theta \sec ^3\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)}{2 g}$
  • C
    $\frac{2 u^2 \cos ^3 \theta \sec ^2\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)}{g}$
  • D
    $\frac{u^2 \cos ^2 \theta \sec ^3\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)}{g}$

$A$ small object is thrown at an angle $45^{\circ}$ to the horizontal with an initial velocity $v_0$. The velocity is averaged for the first $\sqrt{2} \,s$ and the magnitude of the average velocity comes out to be the same as that of the initial velocity, i.e.,$|v_0|$. The magnitude $|v_0|$ will be (take $g=10 \,m/s^2$):

Two projectiles $A$ and $B$ are thrown with initial velocities of $40\,m/s$ and $60\,m/s$ at angles $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal respectively. The ratio of their ranges is $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$.

$A$ stone is thrown vertically at a speed of $30 \,ms^{-1}$ making an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. What is the maximum height reached by the stone (in $\,m$)? Take $g=10 \,ms^{-2}$.

An object is projected with a velocity of $20 \ m/s$ making an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The equation for the trajectory is $h = Ax - Bx^2$, where $h$ is the height, $x$ is the horizontal distance, and $A$ and $B$ are constants. The ratio $A:B$ is $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$.
