Correct answer: 5
- Resolve the initial velocity vertically
The particle is projected with speed at angle .
So the vertical component is
- Height traversed in the first second,
Vertical displacement in time is
For the first second, s:
- Time to reach maximum height
At maximum height, vertical velocity becomes zero:
So the particle reaches maximum height after seconds.
- Height traversed in the last second before reaching maximum height,
The last second before reaching the top is from s to s.
Compute heights at these times:
Hence,
- Find the ratio
Since the integer asked is the ratio value,
Therefore, the required answer is 5.
