Correct Option - 2

Detailed Solution:

According to question, we can write

$R = \frac{u^{2} s i n 2 θ}{g} \Rightarrow u^{2} = g R_{m a x}, w h e r e θ = 45 °$

$\Rightarrow H_{m a x} = \frac{u^{2}}{2 g} = \frac{g R_{m a x}}{2 g} = \frac{R_{m a x}}{2} = \frac{100}{2} = 50 m$

A ball is projected from ground at angle q with the horizontal. After t = 1 s, it is moving at 45° with the horizontal and after t = 2 second, it is moving horizontally. What is speed of projection of ball? [g = 10 m s^–2]

A particle of mass m is projected with speed v at an angle of 30° with the horizontal, find its angular momentum about point of projection when it reaches its maximum height.

alok kumar singh

Velocity at maximum height = vcoss30°

L = m (vcos30) H

$= m v (\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2}) * \frac{v^{2} s i n^{2} 30}{2 g}$

$= \sqrt[]{3} \frac{m v^{3}}{16 g}$

The trajectory of a projectile in an vertical plane is y = ax - bx², where a and b are constants and x & y are respectively the horizontal and vertical distances of the projectile from the point of projection. The angle of projection q and the maximum height attained H are respectively given by:

$y = α x - β x^{2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x} = α - 2 β x = 0$

$\Rightarrow x = \frac{α}{2 β}$

$y_{m a x} = α \times \frac{α}{2 β} - β \times {(\frac{α}{2 β})}^{2} = \frac{α^{2}}{4 β}$

Range = $2 x = \frac{α}{β} = \frac{2 u^{2} s i n θ . c o s θ}{g}$

On comparing with

y = x tan θ - $\frac{g x^{2}}{2 u^{2} c o s^{2} θ}$

A fighter jet is flying horizontally at a certain with a speed of 200ms^-1. When it passes directly overhead ad anti-aircraft gun, a bullet is fired from the gun, at an angle (θ)with the horizontal, to hit the jet. If the bullet speed is 400m/s, the value of (θ)will be _____________.
