Two projectiles AA and BB are launched with an angle of projection of 15^{}^{{}^{\circ}} for projectile AA and 45^{}^{{}^{\circ}} for projectile BB. If RAR_A and RBR_B denote the horizontal ranges for the two projectiles, then

Options

  1. ARA>RBR_A > R_B
  2. Bthe information is insufficient to determine the relation between RAR_A and RBR_B
  3. CRA=RBR_A = R_B
  4. DRA<RBR_A < R_B

Correct answer

B. the information is insufficient to determine the relation between RAR_A and RBR_B

Step-by-step solution

The horizontal range of a projectile is given by R=u2sin⁡(2θ)gR = \dfrac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g}.

For projectile AA, \theta_A = 15^{}^{{}^{\circ}}, so R_A = \dfrac{u_A^2 \sin(30^{}^{{}^{\circ}})}{g} = \dfrac{u_A^2}{2g}.

For projectile BB, \theta_B = 45^{}^{{}^{\circ}}, so R_B = \dfrac{u_B^2 \sin(90^{}^{{}^{\circ}})}{g} = \dfrac{u_B^2}{g}.

Since the initial velocities uAu_A and uBu_B are not provided in the question, the ranges cannot be compared.

Therefore, the information is insufficient to determine the relation between RAR_A and RBR_B.
