Two projectiles of same mass have their maximum kinetic energies in ratio 4:14: 1 and ratio of their maximum heights is also 4: 1 then what is the ratio of their ranges ?

Options

  1. A2:12: 1
  2. B4:14: 1
  3. C8:18: 1
  4. D16:116: 1

Correct answer

B. 4:14: 1

Step-by-step solution

The kinetic energy of the projectiles is maximum at the point of release. The ratio of K.E. of projectiles 12mu1212mu22=41u12u22=41\begin{aligned}& \frac{\frac{1}{2} m u_1^2}{\frac{1}{2} m u_2^2}=\frac{4}{1}\\ & \frac{u_1^2}{u_2^2}=\frac{4}{1} \end{aligned}The ratio of maximum heights of projectiles H1H2=41\frac{H_1}{H_2}=\frac{4}{1}u12sin⁡2θ12gu22sin⁡2θ22g=41u12u22⋅sin⁡2θ1sin⁡2θ2=4141⋅sin⁡2θ1sin⁡2θ2=41\begin{aligned}& \frac{u_1^2 \sin ^2 \theta_1}{2 g}\\ & \frac{u_2^2 \sin ^2 \theta_2}{2 g}=\frac{4}{1}\\ & \frac{u_1^2}{u_2^2} \cdot \frac{\sin ^2 \theta_1}{\sin ^2 \theta_2}=\frac{4}{1}\\ & \frac{4}{1} \cdot \frac{\sin ^2 \theta_1}{\sin ^2 \theta_2}=\frac{4}{1} \end{aligned}((from equation (i)) sin⁡2θ1=sin⁡2θ2θ1=θ2\begin{aligned}& \sin ^2 \theta_1=\sin ^2 \theta_2 \\ & \theta_1=\theta_2 \end{aligned}Now, ratioofrangesofprojectilesof ranges of projectilesR1R2=u12sin⁡2θ1u22sin⁡2θ2R1R2=u12sin⁡2θ1u22sin⁡2θ1(∵θ1=θ2)R1R2=u12u22,R1R2=41\begin{aligned}& \frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{u_1^2 \sin 2 \theta_1}{u_2^2 \sin 2 \theta_2}\\ & \frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{u_1^2 \sin 2 \theta_1}{u_2^2 \sin 2 \theta_1} \quad\left(\because \theta_1=\theta_2\right) \\ & \frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{u_1^2}{u_2^2}, \frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{4}{1} \end{aligned}$
