Physics Two Dimensional Motion Question 43

Question: The maximum range of a gun on horizontal terrain is 16 km. If $ g=10m/s^{2} $ . What must be the muzzle velocity of the shell

[KCET 1999; BHU 2003]

Options:

A) 200 m/s B)400 m/s C) 100 m/s D)50 m/s

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ {R _{\max }}=\frac{u^{2}}{g}=16\times 10^{3} $

Therefore $ u=400,m/s $
