Assertion: A projectile that traverses a parabolic path show deviation from its idealised trajectory in the presence of air resistance. Reason: Air resistance affect the motion of the projectile.

A body of weight 72 N moves from the surface of earth at a height half of the radius of earth , then geavitational force exerted on it will be

Assertion: In projectile motion, when horizontal range is n times the maximum height, the angle of projection is given by tan theta=(4)/(n) Reason: In the case of horizontal projection the vertical increases with time.

A projectile is projected with velocity 2/3 v_e vertically upward direction from ground into space, then height covered (R = Radius of earth)

Assertion : An astronaut in an orbiting space station above the earth experience weightlessness. Reason : An object moving around the earth under the infuence of earth's gravitational force is in a state of 'free fall'

These questions consists of two statements each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these question you are required to choose any one of the following five reponses (a) If both Assertion and Reason arecorrect and Reason is the correct explanation of Asserrtion. (b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion. (c ) If Assertion is true but Reason is false. (d) If Assertion is false but Reason is true. Assertion At any instant the magnitude of rate of change of potential energy of the projectile of mass 1 kg is numerically equal to magnitude of a.v (where a is acceleration due to gravity and v is velocity at that instant) Reason The graph representing power delivered by the gravitational force acting on the projectile with time will be straight line with negative slope.

Assertion: A particle follows only a parabolic path if acceleration is constant. Reason : In projectile motion path is parabolic, as acceleration is assumed to be constant at low heights.

Assertion : If time of flight in a projectile motion is made two times, its maximum height will become four times. Reason : In projectile motion H prop T^2 , where H is maximum height and T the time of flight.

Under what conditions the formulae of range, time of flight and maximum height can be applied directly in case of a projectile motion ?

The horizontal range of a projectile is R and the maximum height attained by it is H. A strong wind now begins to below in the direction of motion of the projectile, giving it a constant horizontal acceleration =g//2 . Under the same conditions of projection. Find the horizontal range of the projectile.
