7. Explain why the horizontal component of velocity remains constant in projectile motion.

8. A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a tower. Explain its motion.

9. What is uniform circular motion? Give an example.

10. Derive the expression for centripetal acceleration in circular motion.

**Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs)**

11. A projectile is fired at an angle of 45°. At what angle should another projectile be fired to have
the same range?

a) 30° b) 45° c) 60° d) 90°

12. The acceleration of a particle in uniform circular motion is directed:

a) Along the velocity b) Opposite to the velocity c) Radially outward d) Radially inward

13. A particle is moving in a circular path with constant speed. What is its acceleration?

a) Zero b) Constant in magnitude and direction c) Constant in magnitude but changing direction
d) Changing in magnitude and direction

14. If a stone is tied to a string and whirled in a horizontal circle, what will happen if the string
breaks?

a) The stone will fly radially outward b) The stone will move tangentially to the circular path c)
The stone will fall straight down d) The stone will spiral outward

**Short Answer Questions**

16. Write the equations of motion in two dimensions.

17. Show that the path of a projectile is parabolic.

18. A stone is thrown horizontally from a cliff. How does its horizontal motion compare with its
vertical motion?
19. Derive the expression for the time of flight of a projectile.

20. Find the expression for the maximum height reached by a projectile.

**Numerical Problems**

26. A projectile is fired at an angle of 30° with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. Calculate its time of flight.

27. A ball is thrown horizontally from a height of 80 m with a speed of 10 m/s. Find the time taken to
hit the ground.

28. A projectile is thrown with a velocity of 40 m/s at 60° to the horizontal. Find its maximum height.

29. A stone is projected horizontally from a cliff with a speed of 15 m/s. If it takes 4 seconds to reach
the ground, find the height of the cliff.

41. Two balls are thrown from the same height: one horizontally and the other vertically downward
with the same speed. Which one will hit the ground first and why?

42. If the Earth suddenly stopped rotating, what would happen to objects in motion on its surface?

44. If a train moving at 40 m/s takes a turn of radius 400 m, what should be the minimum coefficient
of friction to avoid skidding?
