$A$ body of mass $m$ is projected at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal with an initial velocity $v$. If air resistance is negligible,then the total change in momentum when it strikes the ground is:

  • A
    $2mv$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}mv$
  • C
    $mv$
  • D
    $mv/\sqrt{2}$

Two balls are projected from the same point simultaneously. The first ball is projected vertically upwards with velocity $u_1$ and the second ball at an angle of projection $60^{\circ}$ to the ground level with velocity $u_2$. Both the balls reach the ground simultaneously. The ratio of their velocities $u_1 : u_2$ is
