2. Two projectiles thrown from the same point at angles 0,=60° and 02=30° with the horizontal,
attain the same height. What is the ratio of their initial velocities (Voi:Voz)?


Sagot :

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The maximum height (h) of a projectile with an initial velocity of u, acceleration due to gravity g and at an angle θ with the horizontal is given as:

[tex]h=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}[/tex]

Given that the two projectile has the same height.

[tex]For\ the\ first\ projectile\ with\ an\ angle\ \60^0 \ with\ the\ horizontal\ and initial\ velocity\ u_1:\\\\h=\frac{u_1^2sin^260}{2g} =\frac{0.75u_1^2}{2g} \\\\For\ the\ second\ projectile\ with\ an\ angle\ \30 \ with\ the\ horizontal\ and initial\ velocity\ u_2:\\\\h=\frac{u_2^2sin^230}{2g} =\frac{0.25u_2^2}{2g}\\\\\frac{0.25u_2^2}{2g}=\frac{0.75u_1^2}{2g}\\\\0.25u_2^2=0.75u_1^2\\\\\frac{u_1^2}{u_2^2} =\frac{0.25}{0.75} \\\\\frac{u_1^2}{u_2^2}=\frac{1}{3} \\[/tex][tex]\\\frac{u_1}{u_2}=\sqrt\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
