The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the angle of projection and speed of projection for the given trajectory equation \( y = 2x - 9x^2 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the form of the trajectory equation The general form of the trajectory equation for a projectile is given by: \[ y = x \tan \theta - \frac{g}{2u^2 \cos^2 \theta} x^2 \] where \( \theta \) is the angle of projection, \( u \) is the initial speed, and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. ### Step 2: Compare the given equation with the general form From the question, we have: \[ y = 2x - 9x^2 \] We can rewrite this in the form: \[ y = 2x - \left(9\right)x^2 \] Comparing this with the general form, we can identify: - \( \tan \theta = 2 \) - \( \frac{g}{2u^2 \cos^2 \theta} = 9 \) ### Step 3: Calculate the angle of projection To find the angle \( \theta \), we can use the relation: \[ \tan \theta = 2 \] Thus, \[ \theta = \tan^{-1}(2) \] ### Step 4: Calculate \( \cos \theta \) and \( \sin \theta \) Using the triangle formed by the tangent: - Opposite side = 2 - Adjacent side = 1 - Hypotenuse = \( \sqrt{2^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{5} \) Now, we can find: \[ \sin \theta = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}, \quad \cos \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \] ### Step 5: Substitute into the range equation From the comparison, we have: \[ \frac{g}{2u^2 \cos^2 \theta} = 9 \] Substituting \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) and \( \cos^2 \theta = \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{5} \): \[ \frac{10}{2u^2 \cdot \frac{1}{5}} = 9 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{10 \cdot 5}{2u^2} = 9 \] \[ \frac{50}{2u^2} = 9 \] \[ \frac{25}{u^2} = 9 \] \[ u^2 = \frac{25}{9} \] \[ u = \frac{5}{3} \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answers - The angle of projection \( \theta = \tan^{-1}(2) \) - The speed of projection \( u = \frac{5}{3} \, \text{m/s} \)
