Angle between acceleration and velocity in projectile motion
What is the angle between the directions of acceleration and velocity at the highest point of projectile?
Answer:
At the highest point of a projectile, the vertical component of velocity is zero and the velocity is entirely horizontal. The direction of acceleration (due to gravity) is vertically downwards throughout the motion of the projectile.
Therefore, the angle between the direction of acceleration and velocity at the highest point of a projectile is 90 °

V proportional to I or I proportional to V in Ohm’s Law?
Why we used I proportional to V?
Can we write V proportional to I also?
Answer:
Both are ok. If we are changing the current and observing the voltage, then it is V∝ I
If we are changing the voltage and observing the current, then
I∝ V
In general, we write
the dependent variable proportional to the independent variable
dependent variable = the quantity measured by us
independent variable = the quantity fixed by us

Change in resistance of a wire on stretching
A WIRE OF LENGTH L AND AREA OF CROSS SECTION A HAS A RESISTANCE R. IF THE WIRE IS STRACHED TO TWICE OF ITS LENGTH WHILE A REMAINS SAME , WHAT IS THE NEW RESISTANCE????
Answer:
We know that R = ρl/A
When the wire is stretched, there is no change in volume. So if length is doubled then volume will be halved so that volume is constant.
Therefore, the new resistance R’ = 4R
That is the resistance becomes four times its original value.
