Projectile Motion Class 11th

A ball is projected from ground at angle q with the horizontal. After t = 1 s, it is moving at 45° with the horizontal and after t = 2 second, it is moving horizontally. What is speed of projection of ball? [g = 10 m s^–2]

Velocity at maximum height = vcoss30°

L = m (vcos30) H

$= m v (\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2}) * \frac{v^{2} s i n^{2} 30}{2 g}$

$= \sqrt[]{3} \frac{m v^{3}}{16 g}$

Projectile Motion Class 11th

The trajectory of a projectile in an vertical plane is y = ax - bx², where a and b are constants and x & y are respectively the horizontal and vertical distances of the projectile from the point of projection. The angle of projection q and the maximum height attained H are respectively given by:

$y = α x - β x^{2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x} = α - 2 β x = 0$

$\Rightarrow x = \frac{α}{2 β}$

$y_{m a x} = α \times \frac{α}{2 β} - β \times {(\frac{α}{2 β})}^{2} = \frac{α^{2}}{4 β}$

Range = $2 x = \frac{α}{β} = \frac{2 u^{2} s i n θ . c o s θ}{g}$

On comparing with

y = x tan θ - $\frac{g x^{2}}{2 u^{2} c o s^{2} θ}$

According to question, we can write

$R = \frac{u^{2} s i n 2 θ}{g} \Rightarrow u^{2} = g R_{m a x}, w h e r e θ = 45 °$

$\Rightarrow H_{m a x} = \frac{u^{2}}{2 g} = \frac{g R_{m a x}}{2 g} = \frac{R_{m a x}}{2} = \frac{100}{2} = 50 m$

$t a n θ = \frac{v_{y}}{v_{x}} = \frac{u_{y} - g t}{u_{x}}$

$\Rightarrow t a n θ = | \frac{8 - 10}{4} | = | - \frac{1}{2} |$

Maximum range is obtained at 45?
u²/g = 1.6 or u = 4m/s
T = (2u sin 45? )/g = (2×4× (1/√2)/10 = 0.4√2s
Number of jumps in a given time, n = t/T = 2√2 / 0.4√2 = 5
