MCQ
A particle is projected from the ground with an initial speed $\upsilon $ at an angle $\theta $ with horizontal. The average velocity of the particle between its point of projection and highest point of trajectory is
  • A
    $\frac{\upsilon }{2}\sqrt {1 + 2\,\,{{\cos }^{2\,}}\theta } $
  • B
    $\frac{\upsilon }{2}\sqrt {1 + {{\cos }^{2\,}}\theta } $
  • $\frac{\upsilon }{2}\sqrt {1 + 3\,\,{{\cos }^{2\,}}\theta } $
  • D
    $\upsilon \,\cos \,\theta $

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{\upsilon }{2}\sqrt {1 + 3\,\,{{\cos }^{2\,}}\theta } $
c
Average velocity $=\frac{\text { Displacement }}{\text { Time }}$

$v_{w_{w}}=\frac{\sqrt{H^{2}+\frac{R^{2}}{4}}}{T / 2}$

Here, $\quad \mathrm{H}=$ maximum height $=\frac{v^{2} \sin ^{2} \theta}{2 g}$

$\mathrm{R}=\mathrm{range}=\frac{\mathrm{v}^{2} \sin 2 \theta}{\mathrm{g}}$

and $\quad \mathrm{T}=$ time of flight $=\frac{2v \sin \theta}{\mathrm{g}}$

$\therefore \quad \mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{av} .}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{2} \sqrt{1+3 \cos ^{2} \theta}$
