a Maximum heights are same for each projectile therefore time of flights will be same due to same vertical
component of velocity.
Now range will be maximum if horizontal component of velocity is maximum.
2. Answer (2, 3)
Due to resistance of air, downward acceleration during upward motion becomes more than g and
during downward motion becomes less than g, because air resistance provides a force opposite to
the velocity.

Similarly, horizontal component towards left of Q is always less than that of the point below it and
it will also land in unshaded region.

dy d2 y

dt y
dt 2

At time t  2p or pt  2 ax and vy become zero `because cos 2  0 j . Only vx and ay are left,
  

or we can say that velocity is along negative x-axis and acceleration along negative y-axis.

Hence, at t  2p , velocity and acceleration of the particle are normal to each other.

At t = t, position of the particle r ^ t h  xi  yj  a cos pt i  b sin pt j and acceleration of the particle is

a ^ t h  ax i  ay j   p 2 7a cos pt i  b sin pt j A
^ ^ ^ ^

  p 2 7xi  yj A   p 2 r ^ t h
^ ^

Therefore, acceleration of the particle is always directed towards origin.

At t = 0, particle is at (a, 0) and at t = p/2P particle is at (0, b). Therefore, the distance covered is one
fourth of the elliptical path and not a.
