A cannon on a level plane is aimed at an angle $\theta $ above the horizontal and a shell is fired with a muzzle velocity ${v_0}$ towards a vertical cliff a distance $D$ away. Then the height from the bottom at which the shell strikes the side walls of the cliff is

  • A

    $D\sin \theta - \frac{{g{D^2}}}{{2v_0^2{{\sin }^2}\theta }}$

  • B

    $D\cos \theta - \frac{{g{D^2}}}{{2v_0^2{{\cos }^2}\theta }}$

  • C

    $D\tan \theta - \frac{{g{D^2}}}{{2v_0^2{{\cos }^2}\theta }}$

  • D

    $D\tan \theta - \frac{{g{D^2}}}{{2v_0^2{{\sin }^2}\theta }}$

If a stone is to hit at a point which is at a distance $d$ away and at a height $h$ above the point from where the stone starts, then what is the value of initial speed $u$ if the stone is launched at an angle $\theta $ ?

From the top of a tower of height $40\,m$, a ball is projected upwards with a speed of $20\,m / s$ at an angle of elevation of $30^{\circ}$. The ratio of the total time taken by the ball to hit the ground to its time of flight (time taken to come back to the same elevation) is (take $g=10\,m / s ^2$ )
