The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the projectile motion of two particles projected at angles of \(30^\circ\) and \(60^\circ\) with the same initial velocity. We will calculate the maximum heights and ranges for both projectiles. ### Step 1: Calculate the maximum height for both projectiles The formula for the maximum height \(h\) of a projectile is given by: \[ h = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} \] Where: - \(u\) = initial velocity - \(\theta\) = angle of projection - \(g\) = acceleration due to gravity Let's denote: - For the first projectile (angle \(30^\circ\)): \(h_1 = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 30^\circ}{2g}\) - For the second projectile (angle \(60^\circ\)): \(h_2 = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 60^\circ}{2g}\) Now, we know: - \(\sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2}\) - \(\sin 60^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) Calculating \(h_1\) and \(h_2\): \[ h_1 = \frac{u^2 \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2}{2g} = \frac{u^2 \cdot \frac{1}{4}}{2g} = \frac{u^2}{8g} \] \[ h_2 = \frac{u^2 \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2}{2g} = \frac{u^2 \cdot \frac{3}{4}}{2g} = \frac{3u^2}{8g} \] ### Step 2: Find the ratio of maximum heights Now, we can find the ratio of the maximum heights: \[ \frac{h_1}{h_2} = \frac{\frac{u^2}{8g}}{\frac{3u^2}{8g}} = \frac{1}{3} \] This means: \[ h_1 = \frac{1}{3} h_2 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the range for both projectiles The formula for the range \(R\) of a projectile is given by: \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g} \] For the first projectile (angle \(30^\circ\)): \[ R_1 = \frac{u^2 \sin 60^\circ}{g} = \frac{u^2 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{g} \] For the second projectile (angle \(60^\circ\)): \[ R_2 = \frac{u^2 \sin 120^\circ}{g} = \frac{u^2 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{g} \] ### Step 4: Find the ratio of ranges Now, we can find the ratio of the ranges: \[ \frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{\frac{u^2 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{g}}{\frac{u^2 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{g}} = 1 \] This means: \[ R_1 = R_2 \] ### Conclusion - The maximum height of the projectile at \(30^\circ\) is one-third of the height at \(60^\circ\). - The ranges of both projectiles are equal. ### Final Answers 1. \(h_1 = \frac{1}{3} h_2\) (Heights are different) 2. \(R_1 = R_2\) (Ranges are the same)
