Motion In A Plane

Question
CBSEENPH11020791

For angles of projection of a projectile at angles (45° - θ) and (45° + θ), the horizontal ranges described by the projectile are in the ratio of

  • 1:1

  • 2:3

  • 1:2

  • 2:1

Solution

A.

1:1

For complementary angles of projection, their horizontal ranges will be same.
We know that, horizontal ranges for complementary angles of projection will be same.
The projectiles are projected at angles left parenthesis 45 degree minus straight theta right parenthesis and left parenthesis 45 degree plus straight theta right parenthesis which are complementary to each other i.e., two angles add up to give 90 degree. Hence, horizontal ranges will be equal. Thus, the required ratio is 1:1.
