    The maximum height attained by a projectile when thrown at an angle 9 with the horizontal is found to be half the horizontal range. Then 0 is equal to

    A)  \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( 2 \right)\]

    B)  \[\frac{\pi }{6}\]

    C)  \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    D)  \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Maximum height. \[{{H}_{0}}=\frac{{{u}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{2g}\] Range, \[R=\frac{{{u}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}2\theta }{g}\] Given,       \[{{H}_{0}}=\frac{R}{2}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{u}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}0}{2g}=\frac{{{u}^{2}}2\sin \theta \cos \theta }{2g}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\sin \theta =2\cos \theta \] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\tan \theta =2\] \[\therefore \] \[\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}(2)\]
