Two identical bodies, projected with the same speed at two different angles cover the same horizontal range RR. If the time of flight of these bodies are 55 s and 1010 s, respectively, then the value of RR is ________ m. (Take g=10g=10 m/s2^2)

Options

  1. A250250
  2. B2525
  3. C500500
  4. D125125

Correct answer

A. 250250

Step-by-step solution

For two projectiles to have the same horizontal range RR with the same initial speed uu, their angles of projection must be complementary, i.e., θ\theta and 90∘−θ90^\circ - \theta.

The times of flight for these two angles are given by:
t1=2usin⁡θgt_1 = \dfrac{2u \sin \theta}{g}
t2=2ucos⁡θgt_2 = \dfrac{2u \cos \theta}{g}

Multiplying t1t_1 and t2t_2, we get:
t1t2=(2usin⁡θg)(2ucos⁡θg)=2g(u2(2sin⁡θcos⁡θ)g)t_1 t_2 = \left(\dfrac{2u \sin \theta}{g}\right) \left(\dfrac{2u \cos \theta}{g}\right) = \dfrac{2}{g} \left(\dfrac{u^2 (2 \sin \theta \cos \theta)}{g}\right)

Since the horizontal range is R=u2sin⁡2θgR = \dfrac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g}, we can write:
t1t2=2Rgt_1 t_2 = \dfrac{2R}{g}

Given t1=5t_1 = 5 s, t2=10t_2 = 10 s, and g=10g = 10 m/s2^2, substituting these values:
5×10=2R105 \times 10 = \dfrac{2R}{10}

50=2R1050 = \dfrac{2R}{10}

2R=500⇒R=2502R = 500 \Rightarrow R = 250 m

Answer: 250250
