A projectile is given an initial velocity of i ^ + 3 j ^ m s - 1 , where i ^ is along the ground and j ^ is along the vertical. Then, the equation of the path of projectile is [ Take, g = 10 m s - 2
Options
- Ay = 3 x - 5 x 2
- By = 3 x + 5 x 2
- Cx = 3 y + 5 x 2
- Dx 2 = y 2 + 3
Correct answer
A. y = 3 x - 5 x 2
Step-by-step solution
Velocity of projectile at time t is given by v = u - g   t   j ^ v = i ^ + 3   j ^ - 10   t   j ^ ∴    r = ∫ v   d t = ∫   i ^ + 3   j ^ - 10   t   j ^   d t = t   i ^ + 3   t   j ^ - 10 t 2 2 j ^ = t   i ^ + 3   t   j ^ - 5   t 2   j ^ r = t   i ^ + 3   t - 5   t 2   j ^ or x   i ^ + y   j ^ = t   i ^ + 3   t - 5   t 2   j ^ On comparing, x = t
