The equation of motion of projectile is
y=12x−(3/4)x2
The horizontal component of velocity is 3 m/s. What is the range of projectile ? (g = 1.0 m / s2)
12.4 m
21.6 m
30.6 m
36.0 m
Given that, y=12x−(3/4)x2
∴ dydt=12dxdt−32xdxdt At x=0, dydt=12dxdt
If angle of projection be θ, then
(dy/dt)(dx/dt)=tanθ=12
If u is initial velocity of projection, then ucosθ=3
Therefore, tanθ×(ucosθ)=36
or usinθ=36
Now, R=u2sin2θg=u2×2sinθcosθg
=2(usinθ)(ucosθ)g=2×36×310=21⋅6cm
