The trajectory of a projectile in a vert...

The trajectory of a projectile in a vertical plane is `y = ax - bx^2`, where `a and b` are constant and `x and y` are, respectively, horizontal and vertical distances of the projectile from the point of projection. The maximum height attained by the particle and the angle of projectile from the horizontal are.

A

`(2a^(2))/b,Tan^(-1)(a)`

B

C

`(a^(2))/b,Tan^(-1)(2b)`

D

`(a^(2))/4b,Tan^(-1)(a)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
