Ground-to-Ground Parameters

JEE Main asked Ground-to-Ground Parameters 19 times in 19 of the 108 shifts Lumi analysed, in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. It belongs to Projectile Motion, in Motion in a Plane (Physics). The longest wait between two years asking it was 1 year. In 2022, 2023, 2025 and 2026 it came in more than one shift of the same year.

Questions on this idea a shift, by year

2017–2026. Asked in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. Years differ in how many shifts Lumi analysed, so each year is scaled to one shift of 25 Physics questions.
