$A$ ball of mass $1 \; kg$ is thrown vertically upwards and returns to the ground after $3 \; s$. Another ball,thrown at $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical,also stays in the air for the same time before it touches the ground. The ratio of the two maximum heights reached is:

$Assertion$ : When a particle moves in a circle with a uniform speed,its velocity and acceleration both change.
$Reason$ : The centripetal acceleration in circular motion is dependent on the angular velocity of the body.

In a circus,a performer throws an apple towards a hoop held at $45 \, m$ height by another performer standing on a high platform (see figure). The thrower aims for the hoop and throws the apple with a speed of $24 \, m/s$. At the exact moment that the thrower releases the apple,the other performer drops the hoop. The hoop falls straight down. At what height above the ground does the apple go through the hoop (in $, m$)?

$A$ particle moves with constant angular velocity in a circle. During the motion,its:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ performs uniform circular motion of radius $r$ with linear speed $v$ under the application of force $F$. If $m$,$v$,and $r$ are all increased by $20 \%$,the necessary change in force required to maintain the particle in uniform circular motion is: (in $\%$)
