The correct Answer is:
To determine which projectile has the maximum range when projected at angles of \(20^\circ\), \(35^\circ\), \(60^\circ\), and \(75^\circ\) with the same speed, we can use the formula for the range of a projectile: \[ R = \frac{V^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \] where: - \(R\) is the range, - \(V\) is the initial speed, - \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity, - \(\theta\) is the angle of projection. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate the range for each angle**: - For \(20^\circ\): \[ R_1 = \frac{V^2 \sin(2 \times 20^\circ)}{g} = \frac{V^2 \sin(40^\circ)}{g} \] - For \(35^\circ\): \[ R_2 = \frac{V^2 \sin(2 \times 35^\circ)}{g} = \frac{V^2 \sin(70^\circ)}{g} \] - For \(60^\circ\): \[ R_3 = \frac{V^2 \sin(2 \times 60^\circ)}{g} = \frac{V^2 \sin(120^\circ)}{g} \] - For \(75^\circ\): \[ R_4 = \frac{V^2 \sin(2 \times 75^\circ)}{g} = \frac{V^2 \sin(150^\circ)}{g} \] 2. **Evaluate the sine values**: - \(\sin(40^\circ)\) - \(\sin(70^\circ)\) - \(\sin(120^\circ) = \sin(180^\circ - 60^\circ) = \sin(60^\circ)\) - \(\sin(150^\circ) = \sin(180^\circ - 30^\circ) = \sin(30^\circ)\) 3. **Compare the sine values**: - \(\sin(40^\circ) \approx 0.6428\) - \(\sin(70^\circ) \approx 0.9397\) - \(\sin(60^\circ) \approx 0.8660\) - \(\sin(30^\circ) = 0.5\) 4. **Determine the maximum range**: - From the calculated sine values, we can see that: \[ \sin(70^\circ) > \sin(60^\circ) > \sin(40^\circ) > \sin(30^\circ) \] - Therefore, the maximum range will be for the angle \(35^\circ\). ### Conclusion: The projectile with the angle of projection \(35^\circ\) will have the maximum range. ---
