A stone is projected at angle 30°30 ° to the horizontal. The ratio of kinetic energy of the stone at point of projection to its kinetic energy at the highest point of flight will be :A stone is projected at angle 30 ° to the horizontal. The ratio of kinetic energy of the stone at point of projection

Options

  1. A1:21: 2
  2. B1:41: 4
  3. C4:14: 1
  4. D4:34: 3

Correct answer

D. 4:34: 3

Step-by-step solution

Let stone is projected with initial velocity vv.

A stone is projected at angle 30 ° to the horizontal. The ratio of kinetic energy of the stone at point of projection

Kinetic energy of the stone at point of projection is KE1=12mv2K{E}_{1} = \dfrac{1}{2}m{v}^{2}.

Now, velocity of stone at maximum height is =vcos30°= vcos30 °, so kinetic energy at that point is KE2=12m(vcos30°)2K{E}_{2} = \dfrac{1}{2}m{\left(vcos30 °\right)}^{2}

Hence, the ratio KE1KE2=12mv212m(vcos30°)2=43\dfrac{K{E}_{1}}{K{E}_{2}} = \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}m{v}^{2}}{\dfrac{1}{2}m{\left(vcos30 °\right)}^{2}} = \dfrac{4}{3}
