  1. Two projectiles are fired from the same point with the same speed at angles of projection 60° and 30° respectively. Which one of the following is true?​​​
    1. Their maximum height will be same ​
    2. Their range will be same
    3. Their landing velocity will be same ​
    4. ​Their time of flight will be same
Correct Option: B

Given, u1 = u2 = u, θ1 = 60° , θ2 = 30° ​
In 1st case, we know that range

R1 =
u2 sin 2(60°)
=
u2 sin 120°
gg

=
u2 sin(90° + 30°)
g

=
u2 (cos 30°)
=
3 u2
g2g

In 2nd case, when θ2 = 30° , then
R2 =
u2 sin 60°
=
3 u2
⇒ R1 = R2
g2g

[we get same value of ranges].
