The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the angle of projection (θ) and the speed of projection (u) from the given trajectory equation \( y = 2x - 9x^2 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Trajectory Equation**: The given equation is \( y = 2x - 9x^2 \). This is a quadratic equation in the form of \( y = ax + bx^2 \). 2. **Rearranging the Equation**: We can rewrite the equation as: \[ y = 2x(1 - \frac{9}{2}x) \] This shows that the trajectory is a parabola. 3. **Comparing with the General Trajectory Equation**: The general equation for the trajectory of a projectile is given by: \[ y = x \tan \theta - \frac{g}{2u^2} x^2 \] Here, \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity, and \( u \) is the initial speed of projection. 4. **Identifying Coefficients**: By comparing coefficients from the two equations: - From \( y = 2x - 9x^2 \), we can identify: - \( \tan \theta = 2 \) - \( \frac{g}{2u^2} = 9 \) 5. **Finding the Angle of Projection**: To find the angle \( \theta \): \[ \tan \theta = 2 \] Thus, \[ \theta = \tan^{-1}(2) \] 6. **Finding the Speed of Projection**: We know \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). Using the equation: \[ \frac{g}{2u^2} = 9 \implies 10 = 18u^2 \implies u^2 = \frac{10}{18} = \frac{5}{9} \] Therefore, \[ u = \sqrt{\frac{5}{9}} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3} \] 7. **Final Results**: - The angle of projection \( \theta = \tan^{-1}(2) \) - The speed of projection \( u = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3} \, \text{m/s} \) ### Summary: - Angle of projection: \( \theta = \tan^{-1}(2) \) - Speed of projection: \( u = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3} \, \text{m/s} \)
