If x and y coordinates of a projectile as a function of time (t) are given as 24t and 43.6t-4.9t2, respectively, then the angle (in degrees) made by the projectile with horizontal when t=2 s is .

  1. 60
  2. 45
  3. 30
  4. 75

Answer

(2) 45

Solution

vx= dxdt=24 m/s (constant)

vy= dydt=43.6-9.8t

At t=2 s: vy=43.6-19.6=24 m/s

[figure]

= vyvx= 2424=1

=45
