A projectile is fired with velocity u at angle 45° with horizontal. Its time of flight is (g = 10 m/s²) MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A projectile is fired with velocity u at angle 45° with horizontal. Its time of flight is (g = 10 m/s²)
A. u/5
B. u/5√2
C. √2 u/5
D. √2 u/10
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
T = 2u sinθ/g = 2u sin45°/10 = 2u(1/√2)/10 = √2 u/10. SSC often tests projectile basics.

Question #1
In the equation F = ma, if mass is doubled and acceleration is halved, force becomes
A. Double
B. Half
C. Four times
D. Same

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
F = m×a. New force F' = (2m)×(a/2) = m×a = F. So force remains unchanged. This is direct proportionality. Understand the relationship: doubling mass doubles force, halving acceleration halves it, net effect no change.

The escape velocity of a body from Earth is v_e. If Earth's radius shrinks to 1/4th keeping mass constant, escape velocity becomes
A. v_e/4
B. 4 v_e
C. 2 v_e
D. v_e/2

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
v_esc ∝ √(1/R). If R→R/4, v_esc ∝ √(4) = 2. So 2v_e.
