The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the projectile motion of the given object and determine which of the provided options are incorrect. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information - Mass of the projectile (m) = 1 kg - Initial velocity (u) = √20 m/s - Range (R) = √3 m - Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s² ### Step 2: Use the Range Formula The range of a projectile is given by the formula: \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \] Substituting the known values: \[ \sqrt{3} = \frac{(\sqrt{20})^2 \sin(2\theta)}{10} \] \[ \sqrt{3} = \frac{20 \sin(2\theta)}{10} \] \[ \sqrt{3} = 2 \sin(2\theta) \] \[ \sin(2\theta) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] ### Step 3: Find Possible Angles From the sine value, we can find: \[ 2\theta = 60^\circ \text{ or } 120^\circ \] Thus, \[ \theta = 30^\circ \text{ or } 60^\circ \] ### Step 4: Calculate Maximum Height Using the formula for maximum height \( H \): \[ H = \frac{u^2 \sin^2(\theta)}{2g} \] **For \( \theta = 30^\circ \)**: \[ H = \frac{(\sqrt{20})^2 \sin^2(30^\circ)}{2 \times 10} \] \[ H = \frac{20 \times \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2}{20} = 0.25 \text{ m} \] **For \( \theta = 60^\circ \)**: \[ H = \frac{(\sqrt{20})^2 \sin^2(60^\circ)}{2 \times 10} \] \[ H = \frac{20 \times \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2}{20} = 0.75 \text{ m} \] ### Step 5: Calculate Time of Flight The time of flight \( T \) is given by: \[ T = \frac{2u \sin(\theta)}{g} \] **For \( \theta = 30^\circ \)**: \[ T = \frac{2 \times \sqrt{20} \times \sin(30^\circ)}{10} \] \[ T = \frac{2 \times \sqrt{20} \times \frac{1}{2}}{10} = \frac{\sqrt{20}}{10} = \frac{\sqrt{20}}{10} = \frac{2\sqrt{5}}{10} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{5} \text{ seconds} \] **For \( \theta = 60^\circ \)**: \[ T = \frac{2 \times \sqrt{20} \times \sin(60^\circ)}{10} \] \[ T = \frac{2 \times \sqrt{20} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{10} = \frac{\sqrt{20} \sqrt{3}}{10} = \frac{\sqrt{60}}{10} = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{5} \text{ seconds} \] ### Step 6: Calculate Maximum Potential Energy The maximum potential energy (PE) at the maximum height is given by: \[ PE = mgh \] For \( \theta = 30^\circ \): \[ PE = 1 \times 10 \times 0.25 = 2.5 \text{ joules} \] ### Step 7: Evaluate the Options 1. Maximum height raised by the projectile can be 0.25 meters. **(Correct)** 2. Minimum velocity during its motion can be \( \sqrt{15} \) m/s. **(Incorrect)** 3. Time taken for the flight can be \( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{5} \) seconds. **(Correct)** 4. Maximum potential energy during its motion can be 6 joules. **(Incorrect)** ### Conclusion The incorrect options are: - Minimum velocity during its motion can be \( \sqrt{15} \) m/s. - Maximum potential energy during its motion can be 6 joules.
