Question

Trajectories of two particles projected from origin with speed v1 and v2 and angles θ1 and θ2 with positive x axis, respectively, are as shown in the figure. Given that g=10 m/s2, find the ratio of θ1 to θ2.

Solution

Step 1: Find the angle θ1.

Formula used: 4H=Rtanθ

Given, maximum height for first particle, H1=10 m

And range of the particle 1,R1=40 m

Using the relation, 4H1=R1tanθ1

4×10=40(tanθ1)

θ1=π4

Step 2: Find the angle θ2

Formula used: 4H=Rtanθ

Given, maximum height for second particle,
H2=15 m

And range of the particle 2,R2=203 m

Using the relation, 4H2=R2tanθ2

4×15=203(tanθ2)

θ2=π3

Step 3: Find the ratio of θ1 to θ2.

The ratio of θ1 to θ2.

θ1θ2=π4×3π=0.75

Final answer: 0.75
