Detailed Solution

Given Data:

Initial velocity: u=60u = 60 m/s

Angle of projection: θ=30\theta = 30^\circ

Acceleration due to gravity: g=10g = 10 m/s²

We need to find the ratio of:

Height traversed in the first second (h0h_0)

Height traversed in the last second before reaching maximum height (h1h_1)

Step 1: Find the Vertical Component of Velocity

The initial vertical velocity:

uy=usin30=60×12=30 m/su_y = u \sin 30^\circ = 60 \times \frac{1}{2} = 30 \text{ m/s}

Step 2: Find the Time to Reach Maximum Height

At the maximum height, the vertical velocity becomes zero:

vy=uygtv_y = u_y - g t

 0=3010t0 = 30 - 10t 

t=3010=3 st = \frac{30}{10} = 3 \text{ s}

So, the total time to reach maximum height is 3 seconds.

Step 3: Height Traversed in the First Second (h0h_0)

Using the equation of motion:

h0=uyt+12ayt2

For t=1t = 1 s:

h0=(30×1)+12(-10×12)

 h0=305=25 mh_0 = 30 - 5 = 25 \text{ m} 

Step 4: Height Traversed in the Last Second (h1h_1)

The height traversed in the last second before reaching maximum height is given by:

h1=vyt12ayt2

 h1=012(-10×12)=5m  

Step 5: Find the Ratio h0:h1h_0 : h_1

h0:h1=25:5=5:1
