The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of a person throwing a bottle into a dust-bin at an angle of 45 degrees, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given information - The horizontal distance (range) to the dust-bin, \( R = 2 \, \text{m} \) - The angle of projection, \( \theta = 45^\circ \) - The acceleration due to gravity, \( g \approx 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) ### Step 2: Use the range formula for projectile motion The formula for the range \( R \) of a projectile is given by: \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \] where \( u \) is the initial velocity of the throw. ### Step 3: Substitute the known values into the formula Since \( \theta = 45^\circ \), we can calculate \( \sin(2\theta) \): \[ \sin(2 \times 45^\circ) = \sin(90^\circ) = 1 \] Now, substituting the values into the range formula: \[ 2 = \frac{u^2 \cdot 1}{g} \] ### Step 4: Rearrange the equation to solve for \( u^2 \) Multiplying both sides by \( g \): \[ 2g = u^2 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( u \) Taking the square root of both sides: \[ u = \sqrt{2g} \] ### Step 6: Substitute the value of \( g \) Using \( g \approx 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \): \[ u = \sqrt{2 \times 9.81} \approx \sqrt{19.62} \approx 4.43 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Conclusion The velocity of the throw is approximately \( 4.43 \, \text{m/s} \). ---
