Vedclass · Answer

(C) Let the maximum height of the projectile be $H$ and the horizontal range be $R$. The shell clears the summit,which is at the peak of the trajectory.The angular elevation $\beta$ of the summit from the base is given by $	an \beta = \frac{H}{R/2} = \frac{2H}{R}$.Substituting the standard formulas for maximum height $H = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \alpha}{2g}$ and horizontal range $R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\alpha)}{g} = \frac{2u^2 \sin \alpha \cos \alpha}{g}$:$	an \beta = \frac{2 \left( \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \alpha}{2g} ight)}{\left( \frac{2u^2 \sin \alpha \cos \alpha}{g} ight)}$$	an \beta = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \alpha / g}{2u^2 \sin \alpha \cos \alpha / g} = \frac{\sin^2 \alpha}{2 \sin \alpha \cos \alpha} = \frac{	an \alpha}{2}$.Therefore,$\beta = 	an^{-1}\left(\frac{	an \alpha}{2}ight)$.

$A$ shell fired from the base of a mountain just clears it. If $\alpha$ is the angle of projection,then the angular elevation of the summit $\beta$ is

From the top of a tower $19.6 \,m$ high, a ball is thrown horizontally. If the line joining the point of projection to the point where it hits the ground makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal, then the initial velocity of the ball is (in $\,m/s$)

$A$ particle is projected at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal from the ground with a velocity $10 \sqrt{3} \ m/s$. The angle between the velocity vector after $2 \ s$ and the initial velocity vector is $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$. (in $^{\circ}$)

For a projectile,the ratio of the maximum height reached to the square of the time of flight is:

The horizontal and vertical displacements of a projectile at time $t$ are $x=36 t$ and $y=48 t-4.9 t^2$, respectively. Initial velocity of the projectile in $m/s$ is

$A$ projectile can have the same range $R$ for two angles of projection. If $t_1$ and $t_2$ are the times of flight in the two cases,then their product is:
