Four bodies \(P\), \(Q\), \(R\) and \(S\) are projected with equal velocities having angles of projection \(15^{\circ},\) \(30^{\circ},\)\(45^{\circ},\) and \(60^{\circ}\) with the horizontal respectively. The body having the shortest range is? 

A stone projected with a velocity \(u\) at an angle \(\theta\) with the horizontal reaches maximum height \(H_1\). When it is projected with velocity \(u\) at an angle \(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\) with the horizontal, it reaches maximum height \(H_2\). The relation between the horizontal range of the projectile \(R\) and \(H_1\) & \(H_2\) is: 

Which of the following sets of factors will affect the horizontal distance covered by an athlete in a long–jump event?
1. speed before he jumps and his weight
2. the direction in which he leaps and the initial speed
3. the force with which he pushes the ground and his speed
4. none of the above

In a projectile motion, velocity at maximum height is 

(1) $\frac{u\cos \theta }{2}$

(2) $u\cos \theta$

(3) $\frac{u\sin \theta }{2}$

(4) None of these
