Question
A stone projected with a velocity u at an angle 0 with the horizontal reaches maximum height H,. When it is projected with velocity u at an angle with the horizontal, it reaches maximum height H2. The relation between the horizontal range R of the projectile, H1 and H2 is
R =
R = 4 ( H1 - H2 )
R = 4( H1 + H2 )
R =
Solution
A.
R =
We know that,
Maximum height of projectile equation is given by
H=
Where u = velocity of stone
θ = angle
H = maximum height
H1 =
and H2 =
since H1H2 =
=
H1H2 =
[ since sin2θ = 2 sinθ cosθ ]
H1H2 =
R2 = 16H1 H2
R = 4
