Q1 FREE PREVIEW

If the two projectile are projected with the same speed and the angles of projection for two projectiles are 30° and 60° then the ratio of velocities at maximum height is:

a

\(\sqrt{3}:1\)

b

\(1:2\)

c

\(1:1\)

d

\(1:\sqrt{3}\)

✓ Correct answer: a)

\(\sqrt{3}:1\)

Explanation

The maximum height of the projectile is given by

\(\mathrm{H}=\frac{{\mathrm{u}}^{2}{\sin }^{2}\theta }{2\mathrm{g}}\\ \mathrm{So},\\ \frac{{\mathrm{H}}_{1}}{{\mathrm{H}}_{2}}=\frac{{\sin }^{2}{\theta }_{1}}{{\sin }^{2}{\theta }_{2}}=\frac{{\sin }^{2}60^\circ }{{\sin }^{2}30^\circ }\\ \frac{{\mathrm{H}}_{1}}{{\mathrm{H}}_{2}}=\sqrt{3}:1\)
