The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationship between the maximum height attained by a projectile and its horizontal range, given that the speed of projection is increased by 10% without changing the angle of projection. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the formulas**: - The maximum height \( H_{max} \) of a projectile is given by: \[ H_{max} = \frac{u_0^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} \] - The horizontal range \( R \) of a projectile is given by: \[ R = \frac{u_0^2 \sin 2\theta}{g} \] Here, \( u_0 \) is the initial speed of projection, \( \theta \) is the angle of projection, and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. 2. **Proportionality**: - Both \( H_{max} \) and \( R \) depend on \( u_0^2 \). Therefore, if \( H_{max} \) increases, \( R \) will also increase proportionally to the square of the speed of projection. 3. **Given information**: - The maximum height \( H_{max} \) is increased by 10%. This means: \[ H_{max}' = H_{max} + 0.1 H_{max} = 1.1 H_{max} \] - Since \( H_{max} \) is proportional to \( u_0^2 \), we can express this increase in terms of the initial speed: \[ H_{max}' = \frac{(u_0')^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} \] - Setting the two expressions for \( H_{max} \) equal gives: \[ 1.1 \left(\frac{u_0^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g}\right) = \frac{(u_0')^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} \] - Simplifying, we find: \[ (u_0')^2 = 1.1 u_0^2 \] 4. **Finding the new range**: - The new range \( R' \) can be expressed as: \[ R' = \frac{(u_0')^2 \sin 2\theta}{g} \] - Substituting \( (u_0')^2 \): \[ R' = \frac{1.1 u_0^2 \sin 2\theta}{g} \] - The original range \( R \) is: \[ R = \frac{u_0^2 \sin 2\theta}{g} \] - Therefore, we can express the new range in terms of the original range: \[ R' = 1.1 R \] 5. **Calculating the percentage increase in range**: - The percentage increase in range is given by: \[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left(\frac{R' - R}{R}\right) \times 100\% \] - Substituting \( R' \): \[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left(\frac{1.1 R - R}{R}\right) \times 100\% = (0.1) \times 100\% = 10\% \] ### Final Answer: The percentage increase in the horizontal range is **10%**.
