Two objects are projected with same velocity uu however at different angles α\alpha and β\beta with the horizontal. If α+β=90°\alpha + \beta = 90 °, the ratio of horizontal range of the first object to the 2nd{2}^{nd} object will be :

Options

  1. A4:14: 1
  2. B2:12: 1
  3. C1:21: 2
  4. D1:11: 1

Correct answer

D. 1:11: 1

Step-by-step solution

Given: α+β=90°\alpha + \beta = 90 °

Range of the first projectile:

R1=u2sin⁡2αg{R}_{1} = \dfrac{{u}^{2}\sin 2\alpha}{g}

Range of the second projectile:

R2=u2sin⁡2βg=u2sin⁡(180°−2α)g=u2sin⁡2αg{R}_{2} = \dfrac{{u}^{2}\sin 2\beta}{g} = \dfrac{{u}^{2}\sin ( 180 ° - 2\alpha )}{g} = \dfrac{{u}^{2}\sin 2\alpha}{g}

As we can see, both are equal.

R1=R2{R}_{1} = {R}_{2}

Therefore,

R1:R2=1:1{R}_{1}: {R}_{2} = 1: 1
