A projectile is launched at an angle α with the horizontal with a velocity 20 m s-1. After 10 s, its inclination with horizontal is β. The value of tanβ will be : g=10 m s-2.
  1. tanα+5secα
  2. tanα-5secα
  3. 2tanα-5secα
  4. 2tanα+5secα

Solution

Component of velocity in horizontal direction,

vx=20cosα=v2cosβ

Component of velocity in vertical direction,

vy=20sinα-g×10=v2sinβ

tanβ=20sinα-10020cosα

tanβ=tanα-5cosα

tanβ=tanα-5secα
