AIIMS2017PhysicsMotion in Two Dimensions
A projectile is given an initial velocity of i +2 j . The cartesian equation of its path is (Take g=10 ~m ~s ⁻² )
Options
- Ay=x-5 x^2
- By=2 x-5 x^2
- Cy=2 x-15 x^2
- Dy=2 x-25 x^2
Correct answer
B. y=2 x-5 x^2
Step-by-step solution
Given, u = i +2 j =u_x i +u_y j Then u_x=1=u and u_y=2=u = u u = 2 1 =2 The equation of trajectory of a projectile motion is aligned & y=x - g x^2 2 u^2 ^2 =x - g x^2 2(u )^2 & y=x 2- 10 x^2 2(1)^2 =2 x-5 x^2 aligned
