    A particle is projected with a velocity \[{{v}_{0}}\]so that its range on a horizontal plane is twice the greatest height attained. The range is:

    A) \[\frac{5}{4g}v_{0}^{2}\]             

    B)         \[\frac{4}{5g}v_{0}^{2}\]            

    C)  \[\frac{4}{3}v_{0}^{2}\]                               

    D)         \[\frac{3}{5}v_{0}^{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: If u be the initial velocity and a is the projectile motion, then range \[=\frac{{{u}^{2}}sin\,2\alpha }{g}.\] Let \[\alpha \]be the angle of projection, then range = 2 (greatest height attained) \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{v_{0}^{2}\sin 2\,\alpha }{g}=2\left( \frac{v_{0}^{2}{{\sin }^{2}}\alpha }{2g} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[2\sin \alpha \cos \alpha ={{\sin }^{2}}\alpha \] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\tan \alpha =2\]                                           ?(i)                 \[\therefore \]Range\[=\frac{v_{0}^{2}}{g}\sin 2\alpha \]                                 \[=\frac{v_{0}^{2}}{g}\left( \frac{2\tan \alpha }{1+{{\tan }^{2}}\alpha } \right)\]                                 \[=\frac{v_{0}^{2}}{g}\left( \frac{2.2}{1+{{2}^{2}}} \right)\]                          [from (i)] \[=\frac{4v_{0}^{2}}{5g}\]
