A ball is thrown at an angle \(\theta_0\) above the horizontal, and follows the parabolic path taken by a projectile. Let its speed be \(v\) when its trajectory makes an angle \(\theta\) with the horizontal. Assuming \(A\) to be a constant,
1. \(v=A\cos\theta\)
2. \(v=A\sin\theta\)
3. \(v=A\tan\theta\)
4. \(v=A\sec\theta\)

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): If two particles move with uniform accelerations in different directions, then their relative velocity changes in direction. 
Reason (R): Since the acceleration are in different directions, there is a relative acceleration and hence the relative velocity changes. 
 
1. (A) is True but (R) is False.
2. (A) is False but (R) is True.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
4. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

The average velocity of a projectile from the point of projection to impact is \(v_1\) while the average velocity from projection to maximum height\((H)\) is \(v_2\).
It can be concluded that:
 
1. \(v_1>v_2\)
2. \(v_1<v_2\)
3. \(v_1=v_2\)
4. Any of the above can be true depending on the angle of projection

A particle \((1),\) dropped from rest from the topmost point \((A)\) of a vertical circle, reaches the bottom \((B)\) in the same time as when a second particle \((2)\) moving with constant speed moves along the circumference from \(A\) to \(B.\) The ratio of the accelerations of the particles \((a_1/a_2)\) equals:
