A projectile is launched at 30° with speed 20 m/s. Horizontal range is: (g=10 m/s²) MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A projectile is launched at 30° with speed 20 m/s. Horizontal range is: (g=10 m/s²)
A. 10√3 m
B. 40 m
C. 20 m
D. 20√3 m
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Range R = u²sin(2θ)/g = (20)²×sin(60°)/10 = 400×(√3/2)/10 = 20√3 m. Formula applies for level ground projection. Memory tip: sin(2θ) for θ=30° is sin60°=√3/2. Standard projectile calculation frequently appearing in competitive exams with trigonometric values.

Question #2
The loudness of sound depends on
A. Frequency
B. Amplitude
C. Wavelength
D. Speed

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Loudness correlates with intensity, which is proportional to square of amplitude. Frequency determines pitch. Larger amplitude → louder sound. Measured in decibels.
