3-2.Motion in Plane
medium

The equation of motion of a projectile are given by $ x = 36 t\,metre$ and $2y = 96 t -9.8 t^2\, metre$. The angle of projection is

A

${\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{4}{5}} \right)$

B

${\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{3}{5}} \right)$

C

${\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{4}{3}} \right)$

D

${\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{3}{4}} \right)$

Solution

(a) $x = 36t$

${v_x} = \frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = 36\,m/s$

$y = 48t – 4.9{t^2}$

${v_y} = 48 – 9.8t$

at $t = 0$ ${v_x} = 36$ and ${v_y} = 48\,m/s$

So, angle of projection $\theta = {\tan ^{ – 1}}\left( {\frac{{{v_y}}}{{{v_x}}}} \right) = {\tan ^{ – 1}}\left( {\frac{4}{3}} \right)$

Or $\theta = {\sin ^{ – 1}}(4/5)$
