The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the ratio of horizontal ranges of two bodies A and B thrown at different angles, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Range Formula The horizontal range \( R \) of a projectile is given by the formula: \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \] where: - \( u \) is the initial velocity, - \( \theta \) is the angle of projection, - \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. ### Step 2: Identify the Angles and Initial Velocity In this problem: - Body A is thrown at an angle of \( 30^\circ \) with velocity \( V \). - Body B is thrown at an angle of \( 60^\circ \) with the same velocity \( V \). ### Step 3: Calculate the Range for Both Bodies For body A: \[ R_A = \frac{V^2 \sin(2 \times 30^\circ)}{g} = \frac{V^2 \sin(60^\circ)}{g} \] For body B: \[ R_B = \frac{V^2 \sin(2 \times 60^\circ)}{g} = \frac{V^2 \sin(120^\circ)}{g} \] ### Step 4: Find the Sine Values We know: - \( \sin(60^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \) - \( \sin(120^\circ) = \sin(180^\circ - 60^\circ) = \sin(60^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \) ### Step 5: Set Up the Ratio of Ranges Now, we can set up the ratio of the ranges: \[ \frac{R_A}{R_B} = \frac{\frac{V^2 \sin(60^\circ)}{g}}{\frac{V^2 \sin(120^\circ)}{g}} = \frac{\sin(60^\circ)}{\sin(120^\circ)} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the Ratio Since \( \sin(60^\circ) = \sin(120^\circ) \): \[ \frac{R_A}{R_B} = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} = 1 \] ### Conclusion The ratio of the horizontal ranges of A to B is: \[ \frac{R_A}{R_B} = 1 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the ratio of horizontal ranges of A to B is \( 1:1 \). ---
