    A projectile is thrown in the upward direction making an angle of \[{{60}^{o}}\] with the horizontal direction with a velocity of\[147\,\,m{{s}^{-1}}\]. Then the time after which its inclination with the horizontal is \[{{45}^{o}}\], is

    A) \[15\,\,s\]                                          

    B) \[10.98\,\,s\]

    C)  \[5.49\,\,s\]                      

    D)  \[2.745\,\,s\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: At the two points of the trajectory during projection, the horizontal component of the velocity is the same. Horizontal component of velocity at angle\[{{60}^{o}}\] \[=\]Horizontal component of velocity at\[{{45}^{o}}\] \[i.e.,\] \[u\cos {{60}^{o}}=v\sin {{45}^{o}}\] or            \[147\times \frac{1}{2}=v\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\] or            \[v=\frac{147}{\sqrt{2}}m/s\] Vertical component of\[u=u\sin {{60}^{o}}\]                                                 \[=\frac{147\sqrt{3}}{2}m\] Vertical component of\[v=v\sin {{45}^{o}}\]                                                 \[=\frac{147}{\sqrt{2}}\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]                                                 \[=\frac{147}{2}m\] but         \[{{v}_{y}}={{u}_{y}}+at\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{147}{2}=\frac{147\sqrt{3}}{2}-9.8t\] or            \[9.8\,\,t=\frac{147}{2}(\sqrt{3}-1)\] \[\therefore \]  \[t=5.49\,\,s\]
