A body of mass 10kg10kg is projected at an angle of 45°45 ° with the horizontal. The trajectory of the body is observed to pass through a point (20,10)\left(20, 10\right). If TT is the time of flight, then its momentum vector, at time t=T2t = \dfrac{T}{\sqrt{2}}, is _____ .

  2. B100\sqrt{2}\overset{^}{i} + \left(100 - 200\sqrt{2}\right)\overset{^}{j}Ns
  3. C100\overset{^}{i} + \left(100 - 200\sqrt{2}\right)\overset{^}{j}Ns
  4. D100\sqrt{2}\overset{^}{i} + \left(100\sqrt{2} - 200\right)\overset{^}{j}Ns

Correct answer

D. 100\sqrt{2}\overset{^}{i} + \left(100\sqrt{2} - 200\right)\overset{^}{j}Ns

Step-by-step solution

It is given that the projectile passes through (20,10)\left(20, 10\right) and angle of projection is θ=45°\theta = 45 °. Using the trajectory equation,

y=xtanθ−gx22u2cos⁡2θy = xtan\theta - \dfrac{g{x}^{2}}{2{u}^{2}\cos^{2}\theta}

⇒10=20−(10)(100)u2⇒ 10 = 20 - \dfrac{\left(10\right)\left(100\right)}{{u}^{2}}

⇒u=20ms−1⇒ u = 20m{s}^{- 1}

Now the time of flight of projectile,

T=2usinθgT = \dfrac{2usin\theta}{g}

⇒T=(2)(20)2(10)=22s⇒T2=2s⇒ T = \dfrac{\left(2\right)\left(20\right)}{\sqrt{2}\left(10\right)} = 2\sqrt{2}s ⇒ \dfrac{T}{\sqrt{2}} = 2s

Now velocity of the projectile at any time tt can be written as,

\overset{\to}{v} = ucos\theta\overset{^}{i} + \left(usin\theta - gt\right)\overset{^}{j}

⇒ \overset{\to}{v} = 10\sqrt{2}\overset{^}{i} + ( 10\sqrt{2} - 10\left(2\right) ] \overset{^}{j}m{s}^{- 1}

Therefore, momentum \overset{\to}{p} = M\overset{\to}{v} = 100\sqrt{2}\overset{^}{i} + \left(100\sqrt{2} - 200\right)\overset{^}{j}Ns
