The range of the projectile projected at an angle of 15 with horizontal is 50 m. If the projectile is projected with same velocity at an angle of 45 with horizontal, then its range will be
  1. 100 m
  2. 1002 m
  3. 502 m
  4. 50 m

Solution

The data given is 

θ1=15°θ2=45°R1=50 m

The formula for range of a projectile is given by 

R=u2 sin2θg   ...(i)

Substituting the values in equation (i)

R1=u2sin2θ1g50=u2sin30°gu2g=100

Let the new range be R2. The magnitude of the range is 

R2=u2sin2θ2gR2=u2gsin90°R2=100 m
