$A$ body is projected horizontally from a tower with a velocity of $18 \, ms^{-1}$. It strikes the ground at an angle of $45^o$. The vertical component of the velocity when it strikes the ground is ........ $ms^{-1}$.

Two balls $A$ and $B$ are projected at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ respectively, so that the maximum heights reached are same for both. The ratio of initial velocity of projection of ball $A$ to that for ball $B$ is $(\sin 30^{\circ} = \cos 60^{\circ} = 1/2, \sin 45^{\circ} = \cos 45^{\circ} = 1/\sqrt{2}, \sin 60^{\circ} = \cos 30^{\circ} = \sqrt{3}/2)$.

$A$ body projected at a certain angle $(\neq 90^{\circ})$ from the ground crosses a point in its path at a time $t_1 = 2.3 \ s$ and from there it reaches the ground after a further time $t_2 = 5.7 \ s$. The maximum height reached by the body is (Take $g = 10 \ ms^{-2}$) (in $m$)
