For a given velocity, a projectile has the same range of \(R\) for two angles of projection. If \(t_1\) and \(t_2\) are the times of flight in the two cases then:
1. \(t_1t_2 \propto R^2\)

2. \(t_1t_2 \propto R\)

3. \(t_1t_2 \propto \dfrac{1}{R}\)

4. \(t_1t_2 \propto \dfrac{1}{R^2}\)

A body of mass \(m\) is thrown upwards at an angle \(θ\) with the horizontal at velocity \(v\). While rising, the velocity of the mass after \(t\) seconds will be:

1. \(\sqrt{(v\cos\theta)^2+(v\sin\theta)^2}\)

2. \(\sqrt{(v\cos\theta-v\sin\theta)^2-gt}\)

Neglecting the air resistance, the time of flight of a projectile is determined by:

1. \(U_{vertical}\)

2. \(U_{horizontal}\)

3. \(U = U^2_{vertical} + U^2_{horizontal}\)

4. \(U = (U^2_{vertical} + U^2_{horizontal} )^{1/2}\)
