JEE MainPhysicsMotion in A PlaneMCQ+4 / −1
Two particles are projected from the same point with the same speed u such that they have the same range R, but different maximum heights, h1 and h2. Which of the following is correct ?
- AR2 = h1h2
- BR2 = 16 h1h2
- CR2 = 4 h1h2
- DR2 = 2h1h2
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Let the two projection angles be and .
Since both particles are projected with the same speed and have the same range , we use
Thus, which gives
-
For different angles with same range, the projectile angles are complementary:
-
Maximum height formula:
Therefore,
Since ,
Hence,
-
Use
So,
=\frac{u^4\sin^2 2\theta_1}{16g^2}.$$ -
Now square the range: so
-
Compare and : therefore,
-
Checking options:
- A: ❌
- B: ✅
- C: ❌
- D: ❌
Therefore, the correct option is B.
