$A$ particle is projected in air at some angle to the horizontal and moves along a parabola as shown in the figure,where $x$ and $y$ indicate horizontal and vertical directions,respectively. The diagram shows the direction of velocity and acceleration at points $A$,$B$,and $C$.

(N/A) $v_{x} = \text{Horizontal component of velocity} = v \cos \theta = \text{constant}$
$v_{y} = \text{Vertical component of velocity} = v \sin \theta$
Velocity is always tangential to the curve in the direction of motion,and acceleration is always vertically downward and equal to $g$.

$A$ bullet fired from a gun falls at a distance half of its maximum range. The angle of projection of the bullet is (in $^{\circ}$)

The range of a projectile when launched at angle $\theta$ is same as when launched at angle $2\theta$. What is the value of $\theta$ (in $^{\circ}$)?

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: When a body is projected at an angle $45^{\circ}$,its range is maximum.
Reason $R$: For maximum range,the value of $\sin 2\theta$ should be equal to one.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Two stones having different masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are projected at an angle $\alpha$ and $(90^{\circ}-\alpha)$ with the same speed from the same point. The ratio of their maximum heights is
