JEE Main & Advanced Physics Question Bank Oblique Projectile Motion

  • question_answer
    Two bodies are thrown up at angles of 45o and 60o, respectively, with the horizontal. If both bodies attain same vertical height, then the ratio of velocities with which these are thrown is                                [DPMT 2005]

    A)             \[\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\] 

    B)             \[\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\]

    C)                         \[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\] 

    D)                         \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                                Hmax \[=\frac{{{u}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{2g}\] According to problem \[\,\,\,\frac{{{u}_{1}}^{2}{{\sin }^{2}}45{}^\circ }{2g}=\frac{{{u}_{2}}^{2}{{\sin }^{2}}60{}^\circ }{2g}\]             \[\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{{{u}_{1}}^{2}}{{{u}_{2}}^{2}}=\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}60{}^\circ }{{{\sin }^{2}}45{}^\circ }\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{{{u}_{1}}}{{{u}_{2}}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}/2}{1/\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}.}\]
