Horizontal range of projectile
Answers
Answer:
- The horizontal range (R) of the projectile is 30 m.
Given:
- The Equation of projectile is y = x √3 - x² / 10 √3
Explanation:
As the question states that we need to find the Horizontal range of the projectile.
Now, From the given equation,
⇒ y = x √3 - x² / 10 √3
For getting the maximum range the vertical distance should be zero i.e y = 0 m and x = R (Maximum range)
Here, we took y as zero because when body completes it maximum horizontal range, the net displacement in y - direction is zero.
Now, Substituting,
⇒ 0 = x √3 - x² / 10 √3
⇒ x √3 = x² / 10 √3
Cancelling the common term
⇒ √3 = x / 10 √3
Rearranging,
⇒ √3 × 10 √3 = x
⇒ x = 10 √3 × √3
⇒ x = 10 × 3
⇒ x = 30
∵ [ x = R ]
⇒ R = 30 m.
∴ The horizontal range (R) of the projectile is 30 m.
For horizonal range R, the value of Y is zero . Hence in the equation is trajectory , we need to substitute the value of Y as Zero.
The Value Of X Obtained becomes the Horizontal Range Of The Given Projectile.
Hence,
