In long jump, does it matter how height you jump ? What factors determine the span of the jump ?

A

Yes ,u&`theta`

B

No ,u&`theta `

C

No h & `theta`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes ,it does matter
Height h`= (u^(2) sin ^(2) theta )/(2g)implies (2h ) /(sin^(2) theta )= (u^(2))/(g)` and
range R `= (u^(2) sin 2theta )/(g)= (2hsin2theta)/(sintheta)4h cot theta`
The span or range of jump is determined by initial speed u and angle of projection `theta` or height h.
