Assertion: In a circular motion,work done by centripetal force is not always zero.
Reason: If the speed of the particle increases or decreases in circular motion,then the net force acting on the particle does not remain towards the centre.

  • A
    Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • B
    Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is $\text{NOT}$ the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • C
    Assertion is true and Reason is false.
  • D
    Assertion is false and Reason is true.

Show that for a projectile,the angle between the velocity and the $x$-axis as a function of time is given by $\theta(t) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{v_{0y} - gt}{v_{0x}}\right)$.
Show that the projection angle $\theta_0$ for a projectile launched from the origin is given by $\theta_0 = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{4h_m}{R}\right)$,where the symbols have their usual meanings.

The angle of projection of a particle is measured from the vertical axis as $\phi$ and the maximum height reached by the particle is $h_m$. Here $h_m$ as a function of $\phi$ can be represented as:

$A$ particle moves from the point $(2.0\hat i + 4.0\hat j) \, m$ at $t = 0$ with an initial velocity $(5.0\hat i + 4.0\hat j) \, m/s$. It is acted upon by a constant force which produces a constant acceleration $(4.0\hat i + 4.0\hat j) \, m/s^2$. What is the distance of the particle from the origin at time $t = 2 \, s$?

$A$ particle of mass $1 \ kg$ is projected with an initial velocity $10 \ ms^{-1}$ at an angle of projection $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The average torque acting on the projectile,between the time at which it is projected and the time at which it strikes the ground,about the point of projection in $Nm$ is:
