A projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of \(5~\text{m/s}\) and at an angle \(\theta\) with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a velocity of \(3~\text{m/s}\) at the same angle follows a trajectory that is identical to the trajectory of the projectile fired from the Earth. The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the other planet is: (given \(g=9.8~\text{m/s}^2\) )

A body is moving with a velocity of \(30~\text{m/s}\) towards the east. After \(10~\text s,\) its velocity becomes \(40~\text{m/s}\) towards the north. The average acceleration of the body is:
