Question
Two bodies are thrown with same velocities at angles $\alpha$ and $(90^\circ-\alpha)$ with the horizontal. What will be the ratio of $(i)$ maximum heights attained by them $(ii)$ their horizontal ranges?

Answer

  1. $\frac{\text{h}_1}{\text{h}_2}=\frac{\frac{\text{v}^2_0\sin^2\alpha}{2\text{g}}}{\frac{\text{v}^2_0\sin^2(90-\alpha)}{2\text{g}}}$
$=\frac{\sin^2\alpha}{\cos^2\alpha}=\tan^2\alpha$
  1. Horizontal ranges in both the cases are same, i.e.,
$\text{R}_1=\text{R}_2,\ \frac{\text{R}_1}{\text{R}_2}=1$

The magnetic field inside a tightly wound, long solenoid is $\text{B}=\mu_0\text{ni}.$ It suggests that the field does not depend on the total length of the solenoid, and hence if we add more loops at the ends of a solenoid the field should not increase. Explain qualitatively why the extra-added loops do not have a considerable effect on the field inside the solenoid.
