JEE Main & Advanced Physics Question Bank Oblique Projectile Motion

  • question_answer
    The equation of motion of a projectile are given by x = 36 t metre and 2y = 96 t ? 9.8 t2 metre.  The angle of projection is                                         [EAMCET 2003]

    A)             \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{4}{5} \right)\]

    B)               \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{3}{5} \right)\]

    C)             \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{4}{3} \right)\]

    D)               \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{3}{4} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[x=36t\]\ \[{{v}_{x}}=\frac{dx}{dt}=36\,m/s\]                            \[y=48t-4.9{{t}^{2}}\]\ \[{{v}_{y}}=48-9.8t\]                         at \[t=0\] \[{{v}_{x}}=36\] and \[{{v}_{y}}=48\,m/s\]                         So, angle of projection \[\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{{{v}_{y}}}{{{v}_{x}}} \right)={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{4}{3} \right)\]                         Or \[\theta ={{\sin }^{-1}}(4/5)\]
