When an object is shot from the bottom of a long smooth inclined plane kept at an angle 60° with horizontal, it can travel a distance x1 along the plane. But, when the inclination is decreased to 30° and the same object is shot with the same velocity, it can travel x2 distance. Then x1:x2 will be

A projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of 5 m s-1 and angle θ with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a velocity of 3 m s-1 at the same angle follows a trajectory which 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 m s-2)

A ball is thrown from ground at an angle θ with horizontal and with an initial speed u0. For the resulting projectile motion, the magnitude of average velocity of the ball up to the point when it hits the ground for the first time is V1. After hitting the ground, ball rebounds at the same angle θ but with a reduced speed of u0α. Its motion continues for a long time as shown in figure. If the magnitude of average velocity of the ball for entire duration of motion is 0.8V1, the value of α is______

A small boy is throwing a ball towards a wall 6 m in front of him. He releases the ball at a height of 1.4 m from the ground. The ball bounces from the wall at a height of 3 m, rebounds from the ground and reaches the boy's hand exactly at the point of release. Assuming the two bounces (one from the wall and the other from the ground) to be perfectly elastic, how far ahead of the boy did the ball bounce from the ground?

A boy is standing on top of a tower of height, 85 m and throws a ball in the vertically upward direction with a certain speed. If 5.25 s later he hears the ball hitting the ground, then the speed with which the boy threw the ball is (take g=10 m s-2, the speed of sound in air is 340 m s-1)
