$A$ body of mass $m$ is projected at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal with an initial velocity $v$. If air resistance is negligible,then the total change in momentum when it strikes the ground is:

  • A
    $2mv$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}mv$
  • C
    $mv$
  • D
    $mv/\sqrt{2}$

$A$ body is projected at $t=0$ with a velocity $10 \ m/s$ at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The radius of curvature of its trajectory at $t=1 \ s$ is $R$. Neglecting air resistance and taking acceleration due to gravity $g=10 \ m/s^2$,the value of $R$ is: (in $m$)
