A ball is thrown at 24m/s at 37∘. What is its vertical velocity at t\=1s? (Take g\=10m/s2,sin⁡37∘\=0.6)

Vertical velocity vy=v0sin⁡θ0−gt. 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 m/s as the result, so option A is correct.

A stone is thrown horizontally at 9m/s from a height of 78.4m. What is its horizontal range? (Take g\=9.8m/s2)

Time to fall: h=12gt2⇒78.4=12×9.8×t2⇒78.4=4.9t2⇒t2=16⇒t=4s. 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 36 m as the result, so option D is correct.

A ball is thrown horizontally at 15m/s from a height of 98m. What is its horizontal range? (Take g\=9.8m/s2)

Time to fall: h=12gt2⇒98=12×9.8×t2⇒98=4.9t2⇒t2=20⇒t=20≈4.47s. 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 60 m as the result, so option A is correct.
