The time of flight of a body becomes n t...

The time of flight of a body becomes `n` times the original value if its speed is made `n` times.
This due to the range of the projectile which becomes `n` times.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationship between the time of flight, speed, and range of a projectile. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Time of Flight**: The time of flight \( T \) of a projectile is given by the formula: \[ T = \frac{2u \sin \theta}{g} \] where \( u \) is the initial speed, \( \theta \) is the angle of projection, and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. 2. **Effect of Increasing Speed**: If the speed \( u \) is increased to \( nu \) (where \( n \) is a factor by which the speed is increased), the new time of flight \( T' \) becomes: \[ T' = \frac{2(nu) \sin \theta}{g} = n \left(\frac{2u \sin \theta}{g}\right) = nT \] This shows that the time of flight becomes \( n \) times the original time of flight. 3. **Understanding Range**: The range \( R \) of a projectile is given by the formula: \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g} \] If the speed \( u \) is increased to \( nu \), the new range \( R' \) becomes: \[ R' = \frac{(nu)^2 \sin 2\theta}{g} = \frac{n^2 u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g} = n^2 R \] This means that the range becomes \( n^2 \) times the original range. 4. **Conclusion**: The statement that the time of flight becomes \( n \) times the original value when the speed is made \( n \) times is true. However, the statement that the range becomes \( n \) times is false; it actually becomes \( n^2 \) times the original range. ### Final Answer: - Statement 1: True - Statement 2: False
