Physics Two Dimensional Motion Question 233

Question: The angle of projection at which the horizontal range and maximum height of projectile are equal is

Options:

A) $ 45^{o} $ B) $ \theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}(0.25) $ C) $ \theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}4 $ or $ (\theta =76{}^\circ ) $ D) $ 60^{o} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] $ R=4H\cot \theta . $ When $ R=H $ then $ \cot \theta =1/4 $

$ \Rightarrow \theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}(4) $
