In projectile motion, what is the angle between the velocity and acceleration vectors at the highest point?

Projectile motion splits into horizontal uniform and vertical accelerated motion per NCERT Chapter 4. Range R=u²sin2θ/g and max height H=u²sin²θ/2g. Using given u, θ, g, calculation yields 90°. Hence option C satisfies projectile formulas.

A ball is dropped from rest. What is its velocity after falling for 1.5s? (Take g\=10m/s2)

For free fall, s=½gt² and v²=2gh per NCERT. With g=10 m/s², given height or velocity yields time or distance via these equations. Substituting values gives result matching 15 m/s. This confirms option B as correct by uniformly accelerated motion equations.

A rocket is launched vertically at 60m/s from the ground. After 5s, a second rocket is launched at 45m/s. How long after

First: y1=60t−5t2, second: y2=45(t−5)−5(t−5)2. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 5 s as the result, so option B is correct.

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with 30m/s. How long does it take to return to the ground? (Take g\=10m/s2)

Time to reach max height: v=v0+at, 0=30−10t⇒t=3s. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 6 s as the result, so option D is correct.
