The ceiling of a hall is 40m high. For maximum horizontal distance, the angle at which the ball can be thrown with the speed of 56ms−1 without hitting the ceiling of the hall is (take g=9.8m/s2 )
(A) 25OC
(B) 30OC
(C) 45OC
(D) 60OC
Solution
We know that using the third equation of motion V2−U2=2as we can write the given relation as V2sin2θ−2gH=0. We will put the value of V, g, H in the equation and find the value of the angle for the maximum horizontal distance.
Complete step by step answer:
It is given in the question that the ceiling of a hall is 40m high. Then we have to find the angle at which the ball can be thrown with the speed 56ms−1 so that it will cover the maximum horizontal distance.
We know that according to the third equation of motion V2−U2=2as. Here the initial velocity of the ball is considered as 0ms−1 and the distance S is given by H and acceleration is given by g. then we can rewrite this equation as V2sin2θ−2gH=0.
56×56sin2θ−2×9.8×40=0
56×56sin2θ=2×9.8×40
sin2θ=56×562×9.8×40
sin2θ=3136784
sin2θ=0.25
On finding the square root of both the sides we get-
sinθ=0.50
We know that the value of sinθ=0.50 an angle 30O.
Therefore, the maximum value θ will be 30O.
Thus, option B is correct.
Additional information:
It is Note:d that in an open field we want to cover the maximum distance then we have to project our ball at an angle of 45O. We will get the maximum range 45O.
Note:
It is Note:d that the majority one does mistake in writing the relation of maximum height, they may merge the relation of range and height, to avoid such mistake we can use these equations of motion to derive the exact relation and solve our problem accordingly.
