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 with a speed of 40 m/s at an angle of 30°. What is its velocity at the highest point? (Take g =

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

For an object in motion with constant acceleration in a plane, what is the shape of its path if the initial velocity is

If the initial velocity is zero, the object moves under constant acceleration alone, resulting in a straight-line path along the direction of the acceleration vector. This is a special case of rectilinear motion. 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 Straight line as the result, so option C is correct.
