The total speed of a projectile at its g...

The total speed of a projectile at its greater height is `sqrt(6/7)` of its speed when it is at half of its greatest height. The angle of projection will be :-

A

`60^(@)`

B

`45^(@)`

C

`30^(@)`

D

`50^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`v_(y)^(2)=u^(2)sin^(2)theta-2gxxH/2,v_(x)^(2)=u^(2) cos^(2) theta`

`:. U cos theta =sqrt(6/7)[sqrt(v_(x)^(2)+v_(y)^(2))]rArr cos theta=sqrt(3)/2` or `theta=30^(@)`
