    A body of mass m is projected to describe a parabolic path in vertical plane with velocity \[(3\hat{i}+8\hat{j})\]m/s. The time of flight of the body is about

    A)  3.2 sec            

    B)  1.6 sec

    C)  6.4 sec            

    D)  1.2 sec

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    : \[V=3\hat{i}+8\hat{j}\] \[\therefore \]\[{{V}_{x}}=V\cos \theta =3=\]horizontal velocity \[{{V}_{y}}=V\sin \theta =8=\]vertical velocity Time of flight of projectile\[=2t\] where\[t=\]time during which\[{{v}_{y}}\]becomes zero \[\therefore \]Final velocity\[(v)=\]Initial velocity\[(u)-gt\]. Or \[0={{V}_{y}}-gt\] or \[t=\frac{{{V}_{y}}}{g}=\frac{8}{10}=0.8\,\sec \] \[\therefore \]Time of flight\[=(2t)=1.6\text{ }sec\].
