4. Find ratio of range of two projectiles, projected with same speed at angle 20o and 70o respectively.

Q 5 &6 : True/ False , Give Reason also

5. If velocity of particle during motion is zero at any instant, then at that instant Acceleration also must be zero.

6. If a particle has non zero acceleration then its speed must change.
