Physics Two Dimensional Motion Question 171

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

Options:

A) $ 15( \sqrt{3}-1 )\text{s} $ B)$ 15( \sqrt{3}+1 )\text{s} $ C) $ 7.5( \sqrt{3}-1 )\text{s} $ D)$ 7.5( \sqrt{3}+1 )\text{s} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] At the two points of the trajectory during projectile motion, the horizontal component of the velocity is same. Then $ \text{u cos 60 }!!{}^\circ!!\text{= v cos 4}5{}^\circ . $ $ \Rightarrow 150\times \frac{1}{2}=\text{v}\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\text{ or }\frac{150}{\sqrt{2}}\text{ m/s} $ $ \text{Initially: }{{u _{y}}=u\sin 60{}^\circ =\frac{150\sqrt{3}}{2}\text{ m/s} $ $ \text{Finally: }{{v _{y}}=v\sin 45{}^\circ =\frac{150}{\sqrt{2}}\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{150}{2}\text{ m/s} $ $ \text{But }{{v _{y}}=u _{y}+a _{y}t\text{ or }\frac{150}{2}=\frac{150\sqrt{3}}{2}-10t $ $ 10,t=\frac{150}{2}( \sqrt{3}-1 )\text{ or t},\text{= 7}\text{.5}( \sqrt{3}-1 )s $
