The maximum height attained by a projectile is H when angle of projection is 30°. For angle 45° and same u, height will be MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The maximum height attained by a projectile is H when angle of projection is 30°. For angle 45° and same u, height will be
A. H/√3
B. 3H/2
C. 2H/√3
D. 2H
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
H ∝ sin²θ. H₁ ∝ sin²30 = 1/4. H₂ ∝ sin²45 = 1/2. Ratio H₂/H₁ = (1/2)/(1/4) = 2. So H₂ = 2H.

Question #2
If the momentum of a body is increased by 50%, what will be the percentage increase in its kinetic energy?
A. 125%
B. 225%
C. 100%
D. 50%

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Kinetic energy (K) and momentum (p) are related by K = p^2 / 2m. If momentum increases by 50%, the new momentum p' = p + 0.5p = 1.5p. The new kinetic energy K' = (1.5p)^2 / 2m = 2.25 (p^2 / 2m) = 2.25 K. This means K has increased by 1.25 K, which is a 125% increase. Understanding quadratic relationships is crucial for such problems.

Question #3
A car travels from point A to B with speed 40 km/h and returns from B to A with speed 60 km/h. The average speed for the entire journey is:
A. 45 km/h
B. 50 km/h
C. 48 km/h
D. 52 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Average speed = Total distance / Total time. Let distance AB = d km. Time for AB = d/40 h, time for BA = d/60 h. Total distance = 2d km. Total time = d/40 + d/60 = d(3+2)/120 = 5d/120 = d/24 h. Average speed = 2d / (d/24) = 48 km/h. Note: Average speed is not arithmetic mean of speeds (which would be 50 km/h) because time intervals differ. This harmonic mean concept is crucial for motion problems. Exam tip: For equal distances, average speed = 2v₁v₂/(v₁+v₂). Frequently tested in competitive exams.
