Two particles of masses m_(1) and m_(2) in projectile motion have velocities vec(v)_(1) and vec(v)_(2) , respectively , at time t = 0 . They collide at time t_(0) . Their velocities become vec(v')_(1) and vec(v')_(2) at time 2 t_(0) while still moving in air. The value of |(m_(1) vec(v')_(1) + m_(2) vec(v')_(2)) - (m_(1) vec(v)_(1) + m_(2) vec(v)_(2))|

In projectile motion velocity vector is always perpendicular to acceleration.

Assertion: In projectile motion, the vertical velocity of the particle is continoulsy decreased during its ascending motion. Reason: In projectile motion downward constant acceleration is present in vertical direction.

The angle of which the velocity vector of a projectile thrown with a velocity u at an angle theta to the horizontal will take with the horizontal after time t of its being thrown up is

Assertion: In projectile motion, the acceleration is constant in both magnitude and direction but the velocity changes in both magnitude and direction. Reason: When a force or accelration is acting in an oblique direction to the direction of velocity then both magnitude and direction of the velocity may be changed.

Assertion: In projectile motion horizontal velocity remains same but vertical velocity continously change and particle strikes the ground with same vertical velocity with which the particle was thrwon in vertical direction.

At the uppermost point of a projectile its velocity and acceleration are at an angle of:

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.

Assertion: Projectile motion is uniformly accelerated motion. (Neglect the effect of air. ) Reason: In projectile motion, speed remains constant.

Assertion: In the projectile motion projected boyd behave just like a freelty falling body. Reason: There is no change in linear momentum in projectile motion.
