MCQ
A projectile is fired from horizontal ground with speed $v$ and projection angle $\theta$. When the acceleration due to gravity is $g$, the range of the projectile is $d$. If at the highest point in its trajectory, the projectile enters a different region where the effective acceleration due to gravity is $g^{\prime}=\frac{g}{0.81}$, then the new range is $d^{\prime}=n d$. The value of $n$ is. . . . .
  • A
    $0.40$
  • $0.95$
  • C
    $0.70$
  • D
    $0.80$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$0.95$
b

$d=\frac{v^2 \sin 2 \theta}{g}$

(image)

$H _{\operatorname{mex}}=\frac{ v ^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{2 g } ; \frac{1}{2} g _{ aff } t ^2= H _{\max } \Rightarrow t ^2=\frac{2 H _{\max }}{ g _{ af }} ; t =\sqrt{\frac{ v ^2 \sin ^2 \theta \times 0.81}{g^2}} ; t =\frac{0.9 v \sin \theta}{ g }$

$t ^2=\frac{2 \times v ^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{2 g \left(\frac{ g }{0.81}\right)}$

$d ^{\prime}=\text { New range }=\frac{d}{2}+ d _1$

$d _1= v \cos \theta^{\circ} t$

$=\frac{ v ^2 \sin ^2 \theta \cos \theta \times 0.9}{ g } ; d ^{\prime}=\frac{ v ^2 \sin 2 \theta}{2 g }+\frac{ v ^2 \sin 2 \theta \times 0.9}{2 g }$

$=\frac{ v ^2 \sin 2 \theta}{ g }\left(\frac{1.0}{2}\right)=0.95 d$

$n =0.95$

A balloon is moving up in air vertically above a point $A$ on the ground. When it is at a height $h _{1},$ a girl standing at a distance $d$ (point $B$ ) from $A$ (see figure) sees it at an angle $45^{\circ}$ with respect to the vertical. When the balloon climbs up a further height $h _{2},$ it is seen at an angle $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the vertical if the girl moves further by a distance $2.464\, d$ (point $C$ ). Then the height $h _{2}$ is (given tan $\left.30^{\circ}=0.5774\right)$$.......$
