Physics Two Dimensional Motion Question 227

Question: A bomber plane moves horizontally with a speed of 500 m/s and a bomb released from it, strikes the ground in 10 sec. Angle at which it strikes the ground will be $ (g=10,,m/s^{2}) $

Options:

A) $ {{\tan }^{-1}}( \frac{1}{5} ) $ B) $ \tan ,( \frac{1}{5} ) $ C) $ {{\tan }^{-1}}(1) $ D) $ {{\tan }^{-1}}(5) $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a]Horizontal component of velocity vx= 500 m/s and vertical components of velocity while striking the ground. $ v _{y}=0+10\times 10=100,m/s $ \ Angle with which it strikes the ground. $ \theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}( \frac{v _{y}}{v _{x}} )={{\tan }^{-1}}( \frac{100}{500} )={{\tan }^{-1}}( \frac{1}{5} ) $
