A bullet fired at an angle of $30^o$ with the horizontal hits the ground $3.0\; km$ away. By adjusting its angle of projection, can one hope to hit a target $5.0\; km$ away ? Assume the muzzle speed to be fixed, and neglect air resistance.

A stone projected with a velocity u at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal reaches maximum height $H_1$. When it is projected with velocity u at an angle $\left( {\frac{\pi }{2} - \theta } \right)$ with the horizontal, it reaches maximum height $ H_2$. The relation between the horizontal range R of the projectile, $H_1$ and $H_2$ is

A projectile is fired at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ to the horizontal such that the vertical component of its initial velocity is $80\,m / s$. Its time of flight is $T$. Its velocity at $t=\frac{T}{4}$ has a magnitude of nearly $........\frac{m}{s}$

For a given velocity, a projectile has the same range $R$ for two angles of projection if $t_1$ and $t_2$ are the times of flight in the two cases then
