Question
A ball is thrown with a velocity of $15 ms^{-1}$ at angle $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. What is the range of ball? What is the time of flight for the ball to return to same plane from the point of throwing?

Answer

 It is given,
$\begin{aligned}
\mu & =15 m / s \\
\theta & =45^{\circ} \\
Range, R & =?
\end{aligned}$

Time of flight $T =$ ?
$g=10 m / s^2$
Range of ball $\quad R =\frac{u^2 \sin 2 \theta}{g}$
$\begin{array}{l}
=\frac{(15)^2 \sin 2 \times 45^{\circ}}{10} \\
=\frac{225 \sin 90^{\circ}}{10}=\frac{225 \times 1}{10} \\
\because \sin 90^{\circ}=1
\end{array}$
Horizontal range $R =22.5 m$
Time of flight
$\begin{aligned}
T & =\frac{2 u \sin \theta}{g} \\
& =\frac{2 \times 15 \times \sin 45^{\circ}}{10} \\
& =\frac{30 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}{10} \\
T & =\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}} sec.
\end{aligned}$
