Projection Under uniform Acceleration

Question

The equation of trajectory of a projectile is \large y = 10x - \left( {\frac{5}{9}} \right){x^2}. If we assume g = 10 ms–2 the range of projectile (in meters) is

Moderate
Solution

\large y = 10x - \left( {\frac{5}{9}} \right){x^2}
When the particle again strikes the ground, y = 0
\therefore 10x - \left( {\frac{5}{9}} \right){x^2}=0
⇒ x = 0 or 18 m
\therefore Range = 18 m
