The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given equation of the trajectory of a projectile, which is given by: \[ y = -x^2 + 10x \] ### Step 1: Find the horizontal range The horizontal range is the value of \( x \) when \( y = 0 \). Set \( y = 0 \): \[ 0 = -x^2 + 10x \] Rearranging gives: \[ x^2 - 10x = 0 \] Factoring out \( x \): \[ x(x - 10) = 0 \] Thus, \( x = 0 \) or \( x = 10 \). So, the horizontal range \( R \) is: \[ R = 10 \, \text{meters} \] ### Step 2: Find the maximum height To find the maximum height, we need to determine the vertex of the parabola represented by the equation. The vertex \( x \) coordinate can be found using the formula: \[ x = -\frac{b}{2a} \] where \( a = -1 \) and \( b = 10 \): \[ x = -\frac{10}{2 \cdot -1} = 5 \] Now, substitute \( x = 5 \) back into the equation to find \( y \): \[ y = -5^2 + 10 \cdot 5 = -25 + 50 = 25 \] Thus, the maximum height \( H \) is: \[ H = 25 \, \text{meters} \] ### Step 3: Find the initial velocity and angle of projection We can use the formula for maximum height: \[ H = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} \] Given \( H = 25 \, \text{meters} \) and \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \): \[ 25 = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2 \cdot 10} \] This simplifies to: \[ 25 = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{20} \] Multiplying both sides by 20: \[ 500 = u^2 \sin^2 \theta \] Thus: \[ u \sin \theta = \sqrt{500} = 10\sqrt{5} \] ### Step 4: Find the slope at the origin The slope of the trajectory at any point can be found by differentiating \( y \) with respect to \( x \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = -2x + 10 \] At the origin \( (0, 0) \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} \bigg|_{(0,0)} = -2(0) + 10 = 10 \] Thus, the slope \( \tan \theta = 10 \), which gives: \[ \theta = \tan^{-1}(10) \] ### Step 5: Find \( \sin \theta \) Using the triangle formed by the slope: \[ \text{Opposite} = 10, \quad \text{Adjacent} = 1 \] The hypotenuse \( h \) is: \[ h = \sqrt{10^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{101} \] Thus: \[ \sin \theta = \frac{10}{\sqrt{101}} \] ### Step 6: Substitute back to find \( u \) Substituting \( \sin \theta \) into \( u \sin \theta = 10\sqrt{5} \): \[ u \cdot \frac{10}{\sqrt{101}} = 10\sqrt{5} \] Solving for \( u \): \[ u = \frac{10\sqrt{5} \cdot \sqrt{101}}{10} = \sqrt{505} \] ### Summary of Results 1. Horizontal Range \( R = 10 \, \text{meters} \) 2. Maximum Height \( H = 25 \, \text{meters} \) 3. Initial Velocity \( u = \sqrt{505} \, \text{m/s} \) 4. Angle of Projection \( \theta = \tan^{-1}(10) \)
