Assertion If a particle is projected vertically upwards with velocity u, the maximum height attained by the particle is `h_(1)`. The same particle is projected at angle `30^(@)` from horizontal with the same speed u. Now the maximum height is `h_(2)`. Thus `h_(1) = 4h_(2)`.
Reason In first case, `v =0` at highest point and in second case `v ne 0` at highest point.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two scenarios described in the assertion: 1. A particle is projected vertically upwards with an initial velocity \( u \). 2. The same particle is projected at an angle of \( 30^\circ \) with the same initial velocity \( u \). ### Step 1: Calculate the maximum height \( h_1 \) for vertical projection. When a particle is projected vertically upwards, the maximum height \( h_1 \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ h_1 = \frac{u^2}{2g} \] where: - \( u \) is the initial velocity, - \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. ### Step 2: Calculate the maximum height \( h_2 \) for projection at an angle of \( 30^\circ \). For a projectile launched at an angle \( \theta \), the vertical component of the initial velocity is given by \( u \sin \theta \). Therefore, when the angle is \( 30^\circ \): \[ \sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2} \] Thus, the vertical component of the velocity is: \[ u_y = u \sin 30^\circ = u \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{u}{2} \] Now, we can calculate the maximum height \( h_2 \) using the formula: \[ h_2 = \frac{(u_y)^2}{2g} = \frac{\left(\frac{u}{2}\right)^2}{2g} = \frac{u^2/4}{2g} = \frac{u^2}{8g} \] ### Step 3: Relate \( h_1 \) and \( h_2 \). Now, we can express \( h_1 \) in terms of \( h_2 \): From our previous calculations: \[ h_1 = \frac{u^2}{2g} \] \[ h_2 = \frac{u^2}{8g} \] To find the relationship between \( h_1 \) and \( h_2 \): \[ h_1 = 4h_2 \] This confirms the assertion that \( h_1 = 4h_2 \). ### Step 4: Analyze the reason provided. The reason states that in the first case, the velocity \( v = 0 \) at the highest point, while in the second case, \( v \neq 0 \) at the highest point. - In the vertical projection, the particle's velocity becomes zero at the maximum height. - In the angled projection, while the vertical component of the velocity is zero at the maximum height, the horizontal component remains non-zero. Thus, the reason is true, but it does not correctly explain why \( h_1 = 4h_2 \). The relationship between the heights is derived from the components of the initial velocity, not from the velocities at the highest point. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion. ### Final Answer The assertion is true: \( h_1 = 4h_2 \). The reason is also true, but it does not explain the assertion correctly. ---
