A

`(2v_(1)v_(2))/(g)`

B

`(2v_(1)^(2))/(g)`

C

`(2v_(2)^(2))/(g)`

D

`(v_(1)v_(2))/(g)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the range of the projectile (the bullet) fired from a moving trolley, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Motion**: - The trolley is moving horizontally with a velocity \( v_1 \). - The bullet is fired vertically upward with a speed \( v_2 \). - An observer on the ground sees the bullet moving in a parabolic path due to the combination of its vertical and horizontal velocities. 2. **Components of Velocity**: - The bullet has two components of velocity: - Vertical component: \( v_2 \) (upward) - Horizontal component: \( v_1 \) (due to the motion of the trolley) 3. **Time of Flight**: - The time of flight \( T \) for the bullet can be calculated using the vertical motion equations. - The bullet will go up and then come down. The time to reach the maximum height can be calculated using: \[ T_{up} = \frac{v_2}{g} \] - The total time of flight \( T \) (up and down) will be: \[ T = 2 \times T_{up} = 2 \times \frac{v_2}{g} = \frac{2v_2}{g} \] 4. **Horizontal Range**: - The horizontal range \( R \) can be calculated using the horizontal velocity and the total time of flight: \[ R = v_1 \times T \] - Substituting the expression for \( T \): \[ R = v_1 \times \frac{2v_2}{g} \] - Therefore, the range of the projectile is: \[ R = \frac{2v_1 v_2}{g} \] ### Final Answer: The range of the projectile (bullet) is given by: \[ R = \frac{2v_1 v_2}{g} \]
