Physics Two Dimensional Motion Question 212
Question: The angle which the velocity vector of a projectile thrown with a velocity v at an angle $ \theta $ to the horizontal will make with the horizontal after time t of its being thrown up is:
Options:
A) $ \theta $ B) $ {{\tan }^{-1}}( \theta /\text{t} ) $ C) $ {{\tan }^{-1}}( \frac{\text{v cos}\theta }{\text{v sin}\theta -\text{gt}} ) $ D) $ {{\tan }^{-1}}( \frac{\text{v sin}\theta -\text{gt}}{\text{v cos}\theta } ) $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
[d] Horizontally after time $ v,,\cos \theta =v,,\cos \beta $ ?(i) [$ \beta $ = angle with horizontal after time t] Vertically, $ v,,\sin \theta -gt=v,,\sin ,\beta $ ?(ii) Dividing on (ii)/ (i) we get $ \tan \beta =\frac{v\sin \theta -\text{gt}}{v\cos \theta } $
$ \tan \beta =\frac{v\sin \theta -\text{gt}}{v\cos \theta }\Rightarrow \beta ={{\tan }^{-1}}( \frac{v\sin \theta -gt}{v\cos \theta } ) $
