Two projectiles and are launched with an angle of projection of 15^{}^{{}^{\circ}} for projectile and 45^{}^{{}^{\circ}} for projectile . If and denote the horizontal ranges for the two projectiles, then
Options
- A
- Bthe information is insufficient to determine the relation between and
- C
- D
Correct answer
B. the information is insufficient to determine the relation between and
Step-by-step solution
The horizontal range of a projectile is given by .
For projectile , \theta_A = 15^{}^{{}^{\circ}}, so R_A = \dfrac{u_A^2 \sin(30^{}^{{}^{\circ}})}{g} = \dfrac{u_A^2}{2g}.
For projectile , \theta_B = 45^{}^{{}^{\circ}}, so R_B = \dfrac{u_B^2 \sin(90^{}^{{}^{\circ}})}{g} = \dfrac{u_B^2}{g}.
Since the initial velocities and are not provided in the question, the ranges cannot be compared.
Therefore, the information is insufficient to determine the relation between and .
