Answers
Answer:
Given:
A body is projected such that range and max vertical height is same.
To find:
Max height
Formulas used:
Range = u²sin(2θ)/g
Max height = u²sin²(θ)/2g
Calculation:
As per question,
Range = Max height
=> u²sin(2θ)/g = u²sin²(θ)/2g
=> sin(2θ) = sin²(θ)/2
=> 2 sin(θ) cos(θ) = sin²(θ)/2
=> tan(θ) = 4
So sin(θ) = 4/√17
Now , max height = u²sin²(θ)/2g
=> Max height = u² (4/√17)²/2g
=> Max height = u²/g × 16/17 × 1/2
=> Max height = 8u²/17g.
A body is projected with velocity u such that its horizontal range and maximum vertical heights are same. Then the maximun heights is?
- Let the angle at the Projectile is projected be θ.
- The range & Height of Projectile be "R" and "H" respectively.
As Mentioned in the above Question,
Substituting the Respective Formulas,
As we Know,Sin2θ = 2sinθcosθ,
Substituting it,
Rearranging,
As we know,Sinθ/Cosθ = Tanθ,
Substituting it, we get
Now, Using Trigonometric identities,
Substituting tanθ value,
As we know,
Now,
Applying First Trigonometric Identity.
Now, Applying Maximum Height,
Substituting the values,
Simplifying gives,
Hence derived!
