Question

A particle A is projected from the ground with an initial velocity of 10 m/s at an angle of 60with horizontal. From what height h should another particle B be projected horizontally with velocity 5 m/s so that both the particles collide in ground at point C if both are projected simultaneously (g=10 ms2)

Solution

The correct option is C 15 m
Find time of flight for both the particles A and B.
Formula Used: T=2u sinθg
Given,
Velocity of 1st projectile, u=10 m/s
Angle of projection, θ=60
Horizontal component of velocity of A is 10cos60 or 5 m/s which is equal to the velocity of B in horizontal direction. They will collide at C if time of flight of the particles are equal

Time of flight,
T=2usin60g=2×10sin6010=3 sec
Find the height for B from where it is being projected.
Formula Used: s=ut+12gt2
Now velocity of 2nd projectile in vertical direction, uy=0
Time, t=3 sec
Height of fall, s=uyt+12gt2
Substituting the values, we get
=0+12×10×(3)2=15m
