    A projectile is thrown in the upward direction making an angle of \[60{}^\circ \] with the horizontal direction with a velocity of \[147\text{ }m{{s}^{-1}}\]. Then the time after which its inclination with the horizontal is \[45{}^\circ \], 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\[60{}^\circ \]    = Horizontal component of velocity at\[45{}^\circ \] i.e.,        \[u\cos 60{}^\circ =v\,\sin 45{}^\circ \] or            \[147\times \frac{1}{2}=v\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\] or                            \[v=\frac{147}{\sqrt{2}}m\text{/}s\] Vertical component of \[u=u\sin 60{}^\circ \] \[=\frac{147\sqrt{3}}{2}m\] Vertical component of\[v=v\sin 45{}^\circ \] \[=\frac{147}{\sqrt{2}}\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{147}{2}m\] but         \[{{v}_{y}}={{u}_{y}}+at\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{147}{2}=\frac{147\sqrt{3}}{2}-9.8\,t\] or            \[9.8\,t=\frac{147}{2}(\sqrt{3}-1)\] \[\therefore \]       \[t=5.49\,s\]
