The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the principles of projectile motion. ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information - The angle of projection, θ = 45 degrees. - The horizontal range, R = 36 m. - We need to find the maximum height attained by the particle. ### Step 2: Use the Range Formula The formula for the horizontal range (R) of a projectile is given by: \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \] where: - \( u \) = initial velocity, - \( g \) = acceleration due to gravity (approximately \( 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)), - \( \theta \) = angle of projection. Since \( \theta = 45^\circ \), we know that: \[ \sin(2\theta) = \sin(90^\circ) = 1 \] Substituting the known values into the range formula: \[ 36 = \frac{u^2 \cdot 1}{g} \] This simplifies to: \[ u^2 = 36g \] ### Step 3: Use the Maximum Height Formula The formula for the maximum height (H) attained by a projectile is given by: \[ H = \frac{u^2 \sin^2(\theta)}{2g} \] Since \( \theta = 45^\circ \), we have: \[ \sin(45^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \] Thus, \[ \sin^2(45^\circ) = \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{2} \] Substituting \( u^2 \) and \( \sin^2(45^\circ) \) into the height formula: \[ H = \frac{36g \cdot \frac{1}{2}}{2g} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Expression Now, simplifying the equation: \[ H = \frac{36g \cdot \frac{1}{2}}{2g} = \frac{36 \cdot \frac{1}{2}}{2} = \frac{36}{4} = 9 \, \text{m} \] ### Final Answer The maximum height attained by the particle is **9 meters**. ---
