3-2.Motion in Plane
hard
A projectile is fired at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ to the horizontal such that the vertical component of its initial velocity is $80\,m / s$. Its time of flight is $T$. Its velocity at $t=\frac{T}{4}$ has a magnitude of nearly $........\frac{m}{s}$
A
$200$
B
$300$
C
$100$
D
None of these
Solution

(d)
$\tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{u_y}{u_x}$
$\therefore \quad \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{80}{u_x}$
or $\quad u_x=\frac{80}{\sqrt{3}}\,m / s$
$T=\frac{2 u_y}{g}=\frac{2 \times 80}{10}=16\,s$
At $\quad t=\frac{T}{4}=4\,s$
$v_x=u_x=\frac{80}{\sqrt{3}}\,m / s$
and $v_y=u_y+a_y t$
Or $v_y=80+(-10)(4)=40\,m / s$
$\therefore \quad$ Speed $=\sqrt{\left(80 \sqrt{3)}^2+(40)^2\right.}=\frac{40}{\sqrt{13}}\,m / s$
