Q. A projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of 5 m/s at an angle θ with the horizontal. Another projectile, fired from another planet with a velocity of 3 m/s at the same angle, follows a trajectory which is identical with the trajectory of the projectile fired from the earth. The value of acceleration due to gravity on the planet (in ms−2) is (Given g = 9.8 ms−2)

Q. A ball is thrown from a building 10 m tall towards another building 75 m away at an initial velocity of 30 m/s at an angle of 30∘ with the horizontal. The height of the other building is also 10 m. Take g=10 m/s2. Choose the correct statement from the options given below:
- The Y component of the velocity is greater than the X component of the velocity.

- The ball falls short of the building by 1.728 m.
- The ball flies over the other building.
