Consider the two situations shown in the figures. In figure (A), the particle \(P\) is given a velocity \(u\) up a smooth horizontal incline and it reaches a maximum vertical height \(h_A\). In figure (B), the same particle \(P\) is projected with a velocity \(u\) at an angle \(\theta\) (parallel to the previous incline) and reaches a maximum height \(h_B\).
Then,
1. \(h_A=h_B~\text{sin}\theta\)
2. \(h_A~\text{sin}\theta=h_B\)
3. \(h_A~\text{sin}^2\theta=h_B\)
4. \(\frac{h_A}{\text{sin}^2\theta}=h_B\)

Two projectiles are launched, one at twice the speed of the other; the slower one at \(30^\circ\) and the faster one at \(60^\circ.\) Their horizontal ranges are in the ratio: (slower : faster)

1. \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) 2. \(\dfrac{1}{4}\)
3. \(\dfrac{1}{6}\) 4. \(\dfrac{1}{12}\)

The velocity of a projectile at the initial point \(A\) is \(2\hat i+3\hat j~\text{m/s}.\) Its velocity (in m/s) at the point \(B\) is:
              

1. \(-2\hat i+3\hat j~\) 2. \(2\hat i-3\hat j~\)
3. \(2\hat i+3\hat j~\) 4. \(-2\hat i-3\hat j~\)
