The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given equation of the projectile and compare it with the general equation of projectile motion. ### Step 1: Identify the given equation The equation of the projectile is given as: \[ y = \sqrt{3}x - \frac{g x^2}{2} \] ### Step 2: Compare with the general equation of projectile motion The general equation of the trajectory of a projectile launched from the origin is: \[ y = x \tan \theta - \frac{g x^2}{2u^2 \cos^2 \theta} \] ### Step 3: Identify components from the equation From the given equation: - The coefficient of \( x \) is \( \sqrt{3} \), which corresponds to \( \tan \theta \). - The term \( -\frac{g x^2}{2} \) corresponds to \( -\frac{g x^2}{2u^2 \cos^2 \theta} \). ### Step 4: Find the angle of projection From the comparison, we have: \[ \tan \theta = \sqrt{3} \] To find \( \theta \): \[ \theta = \tan^{-1}(\sqrt{3}) \] This gives: \[ \theta = 60^\circ \] ### Step 5: Find the initial velocity Next, we compare the coefficients of \( x^2 \): From the equation: \[ \frac{g}{2u^2 \cos^2 \theta} = 1 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2u^2 \cos^2 \theta = g \] \[ u^2 \cos^2 \theta = \frac{g}{2} \] Substituting \( \theta = 60^\circ \): \[ \cos 60^\circ = \frac{1}{2} \] Thus: \[ u^2 \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{g}{2} \] \[ u^2 \cdot \frac{1}{4} = \frac{g}{2} \] Multiplying both sides by 4: \[ u^2 = 2g \] Taking the square root: \[ u = \sqrt{2g} \] Assuming \( g \approx 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \): \[ u = \sqrt{2 \times 9.8} = \sqrt{19.6} \approx 4.43 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answers - The angle of projection \( \theta \) is \( 60^\circ \). - The initial velocity \( u \) is approximately \( 4.43 \, \text{m/s} \).
