The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of the two stones projected from the tower at different angles but with the same speed `u`. The key points to consider are the horizontal and vertical components of their velocities and how the distance between them changes over time. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - Two stones are projected from the same point with the same speed `u` but at different angles, say θ₁ and θ₂. - The distance between the two stones is increasing at a constant rate of `u`. 2. **Velocity Components**: - The horizontal component of the velocity for the first stone (angle θ₁) is: \[ u_x1 = u \cos(θ₁) \] - The horizontal component of the velocity for the second stone (angle θ₂) is: \[ u_x2 = u \cos(θ₂) \] 3. **Relative Velocity**: - The relative horizontal velocity between the two stones is: \[ u_{rel} = u_x1 - u_x2 = u \cos(θ₁) - u \cos(θ₂) \] 4. **Distance Between Stones**: - The distance between the two stones is given by `l`, and the rate of change of this distance is given as: \[ \frac{dl}{dt} = u \] 5. **Setting Up the Equation**: - Since the distance is increasing at a constant rate, we can equate the relative horizontal velocity to the rate of change of distance: \[ u \cos(θ₁) - u \cos(θ₂) = u \] 6. **Simplifying the Equation**: - Dividing through by `u` (assuming `u ≠ 0`): \[ \cos(θ₁) - \cos(θ₂) = 1 \] 7. **Using Trigonometric Identity**: - Rearranging gives: \[ \cos(θ₁) - 1 = \cos(θ₂) \] - This implies that: \[ \cos(θ₁) = 1 + \cos(θ₂) \] 8. **Finding the Angles**: - The only way for the cosine of an angle to be greater than 1 is if the angle is 0 degrees. However, since we are looking for the angle between the two stones, we can use the fact that the two angles must be complementary in a way that they form an equilateral triangle. 9. **Conclusion**: - Since the distance between the two stones is increasing at a constant rate, the angle between their initial velocity vectors must be 60 degrees, as this is the only configuration that maintains a constant distance while both stones are projected at the same speed. ### Final Answer: The angle between the initial velocity vectors of the two stones is **60 degrees**.
