    After one second, the velocity of a projectile makes an angle of \[45{}^\circ \] with the horizontal. After another one second, it is travelling horizontally. The magnitude of its initial velocity and angle of projection are \[(g=10\,m/{{s}^{2}})\]

    A) \[14.62\,m/s,60{}^\circ \]         

    B) \[14.62\,m/s,ta{{n}^{-1}}\]

    C) \[22.36\,m/s,ta{{n}^{-1}}\]   

    D) \[22.36\,m/s,\,60{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Total time of flight is \[T=4\]s and if u is its initial speed and \[\theta \]the angle of projection. Then  \[T=\frac{2u\sin \theta }{g}=4\] Or \[u\,\sin \theta =2g\]                           ...(1) After 1 second velocity vector makes an angle of \[45{}^\circ \] with horizontal i.e.             \[{{v}_{x}}={{v}_{y}}\] or         \[u\cos \theta =(u\sin \theta )-(gt)\] or         \[u\cos \theta =2g-g\]                  \[(t=1)\] or         \[u\cos \theta =g\]                       ...(2) Squaring and adding (1) and (2), we get             \[{{u}^{2}}=5{{g}^{2}}=5{{(10)}^{2}}{{m}^{2}}/{{s}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,u=22.36\,m/s\] Dividing (1) and (2) we get, \[\tan \theta =2\] or       \[\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}(2)\]
