An object is projected in the air with initial velocity $u$ at an angle $\theta$. The projectile motion is such that the horizontal range $R$ is maximum. Another object is projected in the air with a horizontal range half of the range of the first object. The initial velocity remains the same in both cases. The value of the angle of projection,at which the second object is projected,will be $.......$ degrees.

$A$ cricket fielder can throw a cricket ball with a speed $v_{0}$. If he throws the ball while running with speed $u$ at an angle $\theta$ to the horizontal,find:
$(a)$ The effective angle to the horizontal at which the ball is projected in the air as seen by a spectator.
$(b)$ The time of flight.
$(c)$ The horizontal range from the point of projection at which the ball will land.
$(d)$ The angle $\theta$ at which he should throw the ball to maximize the horizontal range found in $(c)$.
$(e)$ How does $\theta$ for maximum range change if $u > v_{0}$,$u = v_{0}$,and $u < v_{0}$?
$(f)$ How does $\theta$ in $(e)$ compare with that for $u = 0$ (i.e.,$45^{\circ}$)?
