A projectile thrown with a speed v at an angle theta has a range R on the surface of earth. For same v and theta , its range on the surface of moon will be

A shell is fired from a point O at an angle of 60^(@) with a speed of 40 m//s & strikes a horizontal plane throught O, at a point A. The gun is fired a second time with the same angle of elevation but a different speed v. If it hits the target which starts to rise vertically from A with a constant speed 9sqrt(3) m//s at the same instant as the shell is fired, find v.

It was calculated that a shell when fired from a gun with a certain velocity and at an angle of elevation 5pi//36 radius should strike a given target. In actual practice it was found that a hill just intervened in the trajectory. At what angle of elevation should the gun be fired to hit the target ?

A gun can fire shells with maximum speed v_(0) and the maximum horizontal range that can be achieved is R=(v_(0)^(2))/(g) . If a target farther away by distance Deltax (beyond R) has to be hit with the same gun, show that it could that it could be achieved by raising the gun to a height at least h=Delta x[1+(Deltax)/(R)]

A gun is set up in such a wat that the muzzle is at around level as in figure. The hoop A is located at a horizontal distance 40m from the muzzle and is 50m above the ground level. Shell is fired with initial horizontal component of velocity as 40 m//s . Which of the following is // are correct?
