A projectile is thrown horizontally forma height 'h' a shown in the figure. v_(x): horizontal component of velocity v_(y) : vertical component of velocity x : horizontal position y : vertical position Which of the following graph is/are correct?

Projectile motion is a combination of two one-dimensional motion: one in horizontal and other in vertical direction. Motion in 2D means in a plane. Necessary condition for 2D motion is that the velocity vector is coplanar to the acceleration vector. In case of projectile motion, the angle between velocity and acceleration will be 0^@ltthetalt180^@ . During the projectile motion, the horizontal component of velocity ramains unchanged but the vertical component of velocity is time dependent. Now answer the following questions: A body is projected at angle of 30^@ and 60^@ with the same velocity. Their horizontal ranges are R_1 and R_2 and maximum heights are H_1 and H_2 , respectively, then A body is projected at angle of 30^@ and 60^@ with the same velocity. Their horizontal ranges are R_1 and R_2 and maximum heights are H_1 and H_2 , respectively, then
