A projectile is launched at 50m/s at 53∘. What is its speed at maximum height? (Take g\=10m/s2,cos⁡53∘\=0.6)

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 30 m/s. Hence option D satisfies projectile formulas.

A projectile is launched at 26m/s at 53∘. What is its horizontal velocity component? (Take cos⁡53∘\=0.6)

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 12 m/s. Hence option A satisfies projectile formulas.

A ball is dropped from a height of 44.1m with a horizontal speed of 7m/s. What is its speed on hitting the ground? (Take

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 25 m/s. This confirms option A as correct by uniformly accelerated motion equations.
