MCQ
A projectile has initially the same horizontal velocity as it would acquire if it had moved from rest with uniform acceleration of $3\, ms^{-2}$ for $ 0.5\, minutes$. If the maximum height reached by it is $80\, m$, then the angle of projection is (Take $g = 10\, ms^{-2}$)
  • A
    ${\tan ^{ - 1}}\,\left( 3 \right)$
  • B
    ${\tan ^{ - 1}}\,\left( {\frac{3}{2}} \right)$
  • ${\tan ^{ - 1}}\,\left( {\frac{4}{9}} \right)$
  • D
    ${\sin ^{ - 1}}\,\left( {\frac{4}{9}} \right)$

Answer

Correct option: C.
${\tan ^{ - 1}}\,\left( {\frac{4}{9}} \right)$
c
$H=\frac{u^{2} \sin ^{2} \theta}{2 g}$

or $\quad 80=\frac{u^{2} \sin ^{2} \theta}{2 \times 10}$

or $\quad \mathrm{u}^{2} \sin ^{2} \theta=1600$

$\mathbf{o r}$     $u \sin \theta=40 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}$

Horizontal velocity $=u \cos \theta$

$=a t$

$=3 \times 30$

$=90 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}$

$\frac{u \sin \theta}{u \cos \theta}=\frac{40}{90}$

or  $\tan \theta=\frac{4}{9}$ or $\theta=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{9}\right)$

As shown in the figure, in an experiment to determine Young's modulus of a wire, the extension-load curve is plotted. The curve is a straight line passing through the origin and makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the load axis. The length of wire is $62.8\,cm$ and its diameter is $4\,mm$. The Young's modulus is found to be $x \times$ $10^4\,Nm ^{-2}$. The value of $x$ is
