MCQ
A projectile is fired from level ground at an angle $\theta $ above the horizontal. The elevation angle $\phi $ of the highest point as seen from the launch point is related to $\theta $ by the relation
  • A
    $\tan \,\phi  = \frac{1}{4}\,\tan \,\theta $
  • B
    $\tan \,\phi  = \tan \,\theta $
  • $\tan \,\phi  = \frac{1}{2}\,\tan \,\theta $
  • D
    $\tan \,\phi  = 2\,\tan \,\theta $

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\tan \,\phi  = \frac{1}{2}\,\tan \,\theta $
c
It is clear from the adjoining figure that,

$\tan \phi=\frac{\mathrm{H}}{\mathrm{R} / 2}$

$=\frac{\mathrm{u}^{2} \sin ^{2} \theta / 2 \mathrm{g}}{\mathrm{u}^{2} \sin 2 \theta / 2 \mathrm{g}}=\frac{\sin ^{2} \theta}{\sin 2 \theta}=\frac{1}{2} \tan \theta$

Three balls, $A, B$ and $C$ are released and all reach the point $X$ (shown in the figure). Balls $A$ and $B$ are released from two identical structures, one kept on the ground and the other at height $h$, from the ground as shown in the figure. They take time $t_A$ and $t_B$ respectively to reach $X$ (time starts after they leave the end of the horizontal portion of the structure). The ball $C$ is released from a point at height $h$, vertically above $X$ and reaches $X$ in time $t_C$. Choose the correct option.
