Vedclass · Answer

(C) Average velocity is defined as the ratio of displacement to time.Let the point of projection be $(0, 0)$. The highest point of the trajectory is at coordinates $(\frac{R}{2}, H)$,where $R$ is the horizontal range and $H$ is the maximum height.The displacement vector $\vec{s}$ from the origin to the highest point is $\vec{s} = \frac{R}{2}\hat{i} + H\hat{j}$.The magnitude of displacement is $|\vec{s}| = \sqrt{(\frac{R}{2})^2 + H^2}$.The time taken to reach the highest point is $t = \frac{T}{2} = \frac{v\sin	heta}{g}$.We know $H = \frac{v^2\sin^2	heta}{2g}$ and $R = \frac{v^2\sin2	heta}{g} = \frac{2v^2\sin	heta\cos	heta}{g}$.Thus,$\frac{R}{2} = \frac{v^2\sin	heta\cos	heta}{g}$.$|\vec{s}| = \sqrt{(\frac{v^2\sin	heta\cos	heta}{g})^2 + (\frac{v^2\sin^2	heta}{2g})^2} = \frac{v^2\sin	heta}{g} \sqrt{\cos^2	heta + \frac{\sin^2	heta}{4}} = \frac{v^2\sin	heta}{2g} \sqrt{4\cos^2	heta + \sin^2	heta}$.Using $\sin^2	heta = 1 - \cos^2	heta$,we get $|\vec{s}| = \frac{v^2\sin	heta}{2g} \sqrt{3\cos^2	heta + 1}$.Average velocity $v_{av} = \frac{|\vec{s}|}{t} = \frac{\frac{v^2\sin	heta}{2g} \sqrt{3\cos^2	heta + 1}}{\frac{v\sin	heta}{g}} = \frac{v}{2} \sqrt{1 + 3\cos^2	heta}$.

$A$ particle is projected from the ground with an initial speed $v$ at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. The average velocity of the particle between its point of projection and the highest point of its trajectory is

Similar Questions

$A$ projectile is fired at a speed of $100 \, m/s$ at an angle of $37^o$ above the horizontal. At the highest point,the projectile breaks into two parts of mass ratio $1:3$,the smaller coming to rest. Then the distance of the heavier part from the launching point is ........... $m$.

Two projectiles $A$ and $B$ are thrown with the same speed but at angles of $40^{\circ}$ and $50^{\circ}$ with the horizontal,respectively. Then:

$A$ person moves from $A$ to $B$ on a circular path as shown in the figure. If the distance travelled by him is $60 \, m$,then the magnitude of the displacement would be $..... \, m$. (Given $\cos 135^{\circ} = -0.7$)
