The trajectory of a projectile near the surface of the earth is given as y=2x-9x2. If it were launched at an angle θ0 with speed v0 then g=10 s-2:
  1. θ0=cos-115 and v0=53 ms-1
  2. θ0=cos-125 and v0=35 ms-1
  3. θ0=sin-115 and v0=53 ms-1
  4. θ0=sin-125 and v0=35 ms-1

Solution

y=2x-9x2
Comparing above equation with general equation of trajectory of projectile y=xtanθ1-xR
tan θ=2
sin θ=25 or cos θ=15
θ=sin-125 or θ=cos-115
And R = 2/9
R=v02sin2θg=29
After substituting the value for g and sin 2θ. We get v0=35 m/s
