  1. A particle moving in a circle of radius $R$ with a uniform speed takes a time $T$ to complete one revolution. If this particle were projected with the same speed at an angle $\theta$ to the horizontal, the maximum height attained by it equals $4R$. The angle of projection, $\theta$, is then given by:

2014 AIPMT 1 question

  1. A projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of 5 $ms^{-1}$ and angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a velocity of 3 $ms^{-1}$ at the same angle follows a trajectory which is identical with the trajectory of the projectile fired from the earth. The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is (in $ms^{-2}$) (given g = 9.8 $ms^{-2}$)
