A projectile is launched with velocity at an angle to the horizontal. At the highest point of its trajectory, it explodes into two equal fragments. One fragment falls vertically downwards with zero initial speed. What is the distance from the point of projection where the other fragment lands?

A man desires to swim across a river through shortest distance the velocity of river water is . He can swim in still water at . At what angle with the velocity of flow of river should he swim?
If two projectiles are launched with the same initial speed but at angles of 30° and 60° with the horizontal, which one will have a greater range (neglecting air resistance)?
Both will have the same range
The one launched at 30°
The one launched at 60°
The range depends on the mass of the projectiles

A steam boat goes across a lake and comes back (i) on a quiet day when the water is still and (ii) on a rough day when there is a uniform current so as to help the journey onwards and to impede the journey back. If the speed of the launch on both days was same, the time required for complete journey on the rough day, as compared to the quiet day will be
