Two projectiles are projected at 30°30 ° and 60°60 °with the horizontal with the same speed. The ratio of the maximum height attained by the two projectiles respectively is:

Options

  1. A3:1\sqrt{3}: 1
  2. B1:31: \sqrt{3}
  3. C2:32: \sqrt{3}
  4. D1:31: 3

Correct answer

D. 1:31: 3

Step-by-step solution

The maximum height is given by, H=u2sin⁡2θ2gH = \dfrac{{u}^{2}\sin^{2}\theta}{2g}.

The given data is

θ1=30°θ2=60°u1=u2{\theta}_{1} = 30 ° {\theta}_{2} = 60 ° {u}_{1} = {u}_{2}

Therefore,

\dfrac{{\left({H}_{1}\right)}_\max}{{\left({H}_{2}\right)}_\max} = \dfrac{{u}_{1}^{2}\sin^{2}{\theta}_{1}}{{u}_{2}^{2}\sin^{2}{\theta}_{2}} = {\left(\dfrac{\sin 30 °}{\sin 60 °}\right)}^{2} = {\left(\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}}{\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\right)}^{2} = \dfrac{1}{3}
