If a projectile has a constant initial speed and angle of projection, find the relation between the chages in the horizontal range due to change in accelertion due to grvity.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Horizontal range, ` R=(u^(2) sin 2 theta)/g`
Differnticating it w.r.t. g, we have
`(dR)/(dg) =- u^(2)/g^(2) sin 2 theta `
[:. U and theta are costant]
or ` dR =- (u^(2) sin 2 theta)/g (dg)/g =- (dg)/g`
or `(dR)/R =- (dg)/g` .

Find the angle of projection of a projectile for which the horizontal range and maximum height are equal.

The angle of projection at which the horizontal range and maximum height of projectile are equal is

A projectile thrown with an initial speed u and the angle of projection 15^@ to the horizontal has a range R . If the same projectile is thrown at an angle of 45^@ to the horizontal with speed 2 u , what will be its range ?

The range of a projectile, thrown with an initial speed u at the angle of projection 15^(@) is R . What will be the range if it is thrown with an initial speed 2u at an angle 30^(@) ?

Assertion: For projection angle tan^(-1)(4) , the horizontal range and the maximum height of a projectile are equal. Reason: The maximum range of projectile is directely proportional to square of velocity and inversely proportional to acceleration due to gravity.

Two projectiles A and B are projected with angle of projection B. If R_A and R_B be the horizontal range for the two projectile then.

The horizontal range of a projectile is R and the maximum height attained by it is H. A strong wind now beings to blow in the direction of horizontal motion of projectile, giving to constant horizontal acceleration equal to g. Under the same conditions of projections , the new range will be (g = acceleration due to gravity)

Keeping the speed of projection constant, the angle of projection is increased from 0^(@) to 90^(@) . Then the horizontal range of the projectile

The maximum height attained by a projectile is increased by 1% by increasing its speed of projection without changing the angle of projection. Then the percentage increase in the horizontal range will be
