JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 12th April Morning Slot - No. 1)

The trajectory of a projectile near the surface of the earth is given as y = 2x – 9x2 . If it were launched at an angle $$\theta $$0 with speed v0 then (g = 10 ms–2) :
$${\theta _0} = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {{1 \over {\sqrt 5 }}} \right)$$ and $${v_0} = {5 \over 3}$$ ms-1
$${\theta _0} = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {{2 \over {\sqrt 5 }}} \right)$$ and $${v_0} = {3 \over 5}$$ ms-1
$${\theta _0} = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {{2 \over {\sqrt 5 }}} \right)$$ and $${v_0} = {3 \over 5}$$ ms-1
$${\theta _0} = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {{1 \over {\sqrt 5 }}} \right)$$ and $${v_0} = {5 \over 3}$$ ms-1

Explanation

Equation of trajectory is given as
y = 2x – 9x2     …(A)

Comparing with equation:
$$y = x\tan \theta - {g \over {2{u^2}{{\cos }^2}\theta }}{x^2}$$    ...(B)

We get, $$\tan \theta = 2$$

$$ \therefore \cos \theta = {1 \over {\sqrt 5 }}$$

Also, $${g \over {2{u^2}{{\cos }^2}\theta }} = 9$$

$$ \Rightarrow {{10} \over {2 \times 9 \times {{\left( {{1 \over {\sqrt 5 }}} \right)}^2}}} = {u^2};\,\,{u^2} = {{25} \over 9}$$

$$ \Rightarrow u = {5 \over 3}m/s$$
