For a projectile, projected at an angle, the resultant velocity is :

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the speed be v when it makes an angle `alpha` with the horizontal. As the component of velocity remains constant,
`v cos alpha = u costheta`
`v=u cos theta sec alpha`.

If a projectile is projected with initial velocity 98 m/s in a direction of 30^(@) above the horizontal. For this situation which one of the following is a correct statement ?

A projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of 5ms^(-1) and angle theta with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a with a velocity of 3 ms^(-1) at the same angle follows a trajectory of the projectile fired from the earth . The value of the acceleration due to gravity on planet is ( in ms^(-2) is (given g=9.8 ms^(-2) .
