Question
From the ground level, a ball is to be shot with a certain speed. Graph shows the range R it will have versus the launch angle θ. The least speed the ball will have during its flight if θ is chosen such that the flight time is half of its maximum possible value, is equal to (take g = 10 m/s2)


Options
A.250 m/s
B.50 √3 m/s
C.50 m/s
D.25√3 m/s
Solution
From the R v/s θ curve (for u = const.)
Rmax =
= 250 ⇒ u = 50 m/sec.
T = 1/2 Tmax. possible

⇒ sin θ =
⇒ θ = 30o
Least speed during flight = u cos θ = 50 cos30 = 25√3
Rmax =
T = 1/2 Tmax. possible
⇒ sin θ =
Least speed during flight = u cos θ = 50 cos30 = 25√3
