    A bomber plane is moving horizontally with a speed of 500 m/s and a bomb released from it, strikes the ground in 10 s. Angle at which the bomb strikes the ground is: \[(g=10\,m/{{s}^{2}})\]

    A)  \[{{\tan }^{-1}}(1)\]      

    B)  \[{{\tan }^{-1}}(5)\]

    C)  \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{5} \right)\]

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

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Let h be height of plane from the ground, then from equation of motion, we have \[h=ut+\frac{1}{2}g{{t}^{2}}\] Since, initial velocity, u = 0 \[\therefore \] \[h=\frac{1}{2}g{{t}^{2}}\] Given, \[t=10\,s,\,g=10\ m/{{s}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[h=\frac{1}{2}\times 10\times {{(10)}^{2}}=500\,\,m\] Also, from equation \[{{v}^{2}}={{u}^{2}}+2gh\], we have for \[u=0,\,\,v=\sqrt{2\,gh}\] \[\therefore \] \[v=\sqrt{2\times 10\times 500}=100\,m/s\] Hence, \[\tan \theta =\frac{vertical\text{ }velocity}{horizontal\text{ }velocity}=\frac{100}{500}=\frac{1}{5}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{5} \right)\]
