21. A boy playing on the roof of a 10m high building throws a ball with a speed
of 10m/s at an angle of 30° with the horizontal. How far from the throwing
point will the ball be at a height of 10m from the ground?
22. Assertion (A): The average speed of a body over a given interval of
time is equal to the average velocity of the body in the same interval of time
if a body moves in a straight line (in one direction).

displacement of the body.

Reason: The leaking air undergoes adiabatic expansion.
