Motion in a Plane

Two identical bodies, projected with the same speed at two different angles cover the same horizontal range R. If the time of flight of these bodies are 5 s and 10 s, respectively, then the value of R is m. (Take g=10 m/s2)

A gun mounted on the ground fires bullets in all directions with same speed. The farthest distance the bullets could reach is 6.4 m. The speed of the bullets from the gun is m/s. (take g=10 m/s2)

A boy throws a ball into air at 45 from the horizontal to land it on a roof of a building of height H. If the ball attains maximum height in 2 s and lands on the building in 3 s after launch, then value of H is m. (g = 10 m/s2)

The maximum speed of a boat in still water is 27 km/h. Now this boat is moving downstream in a river flowing at 9 km/h. A man in the boat throws a ball vertically upwards with speed of 10 m/s. Range of the ball as observed by an observer at rest on the bank is cm. (Take g = 10 m/s2)
