Given below are two statements. One is labeled as Assertion A and the other is labeled as Reason R.

Assertion A: Two identical balls A and B thrown with same velocity 'u' at two different angles with horizontal attained the same range R. If A and B reached the maximum height h1 and h2 respectively, then $R = 4 \sqrt[]{h_{1} h_{2}}$

Reason R : Product of said heights.

$h_{1} h_{2} = (\frac{u^{2} s i n^{2} θ}{2 g}) . (\frac{u^{2} c o s^{2} θ}{2 g})$

Choose the correct answer :

Option 1 - Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Option 2 - Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation

Option 3 - A is true but R is false.

Option 4 - A is true but R is false.

Correct Option - 1

Detailed Solution:

First angle, θ₁= θ, $R = \frac{u^{2} s i n 2 θ}{g}$

Another angle (θ₂ = 90 - θ) for which range will be Same as that of θ₁=θ

$R^{1} = \frac{u^{2} s i n 2 (90 - θ)}{g} = \frac{u^{2}}{g} s i n 2 θ = R$

at $θ_{1} = θ, h_{1} = \frac{u^{2} s i n^{2} θ}{2 g}$

$& θ_{2} = 90 - θ, h_{2} = \frac{u^{2} s i n^{2} θ_{2}}{2 g} = \frac{u^{2} c o s^{2} θ}{2 g}$

$\Rightarrow h_{1} h_{2} = \frac{1}{4^{2}} {[\frac{u^{2} s i n 2 θ}{g}]}^{2}$

$h_{1} h_{2} = \frac{1}{4^{2}} R^{2}$

$R = 4 \sqrt[]{h_{1} h_{2}}$

So, Both statement is true & Reason is correct explanation for statement 1.

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

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

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

$y = α x - β x^{2}$

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

$\Rightarrow x = \frac{α}{2 β}$

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

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

According to question, we can write

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

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