A projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of 5ms–1 and at an angle θ with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a velocity of 3ms–1 at the same angle follows a trajectory that is identical with the trajectory of the projectile fired from the earth. The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is: (given = 9.8 ms–2)

1. 3.5

2. 5.9

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): When a body is projected at an angle of \(45^\circ,\) its range is maximum.
Reason (R): For maximum range, the value of \(\text{sin}2 \theta\) should be equal to one.
  
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.

A boy throws two balls \(A, B\) from the window of a tall multi-storeyed building. Ball \(A\) is dropped from rest, while ball \(B\) is given an initial horizontal speed of \(30~\text{m/s}.\) The position of the boy is at a level of \(80~\text m\) above the ground, and the balls are thrown simultaneously. Ignore air resistance, and take \(g=10~\text{m/s}^2.\)
Ball \(A\) reaches the ground in:
1. \(8~\text s\)
2. \(4~\text s\)
3. \(2~\text s\)
4. \(\sqrt8~\text s\)
