Question
CBSEENPH11018531

The range of a particle, when launched at an angle of 15o with the horizontal, is 1.5 km. What is the range of the projectile when launched at an angle of 45o to the horizontal? 

Solution

Given that, 

space space space space space space fraction numerator straight u squared space sin space 2 space straight x space 15 to the power of straight o over denominator straight g end fraction space equals space 1.5 space

rightwards double arrow space space space space space space space space space space straight u squared over straight g space straight x space 1 half space equals space 1.5

rightwards double arrow space space space space space space space space space space space space space space straight u squared over straight g space equals space 3 space km space 
Horizontal range for angle of projection 45o will be, 

straight R space equals space straight u squared over straight g space sin space 2 space straight x space 45 to the power of straight o space
space space space space equals straight u squared over straight g space sin space 90 to the power of straight o space equals space 3 space km space
That is the range of projectile is 3 km.
