For angles of projection of a projectile at angle (45 - ) and (45 + ), the horizontal range described by the projectile are in the ratio of
- 2 : 1
- 1 : 1
- 2 : 3
- 1 : 2.
Answer
(2) 1 : 1
Solution
R = u2 2 g
R1 = u2 (90 - 2 )g = u2 2 g
R2 = u2 (90 + 2 )g = u2 2 g
∴ R1 : R2 = 1 : 1 (complementary angles of projection give equal ranges)
Answer: (2)
