MCQ
An object is projected in the air with initial velocity $u$ at an angle $\theta$. The projectile motion is such that the horizontal range $R$, is maximum. Another object is projected in the air with a horizontal range half of the range of first object. The initial velocity remains same in both the case. The value of the angle of projection, at which the second object is projected, will be $.......$ degree.
  • A
    $85$
  • B
    $80$
  • $15$ or $75$
  • D
    $70$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$15$ or $75$
c
$R _{\max }=\frac{ u ^{2} \sin 2\left(45^{\circ}\right)}{ g }=\frac{ u ^{2}}{ g }$

$\frac{ R }{2}=\frac{ u ^{2}}{2 g }=\frac{ u ^{2} \sin 2 \theta}{ g }$

$\sin 2 \theta=\frac{1}{2}$

$2 \theta=30^{\circ}, 150^{\circ}$

$\theta=15^{\circ}, 75^{\circ}$

Ans. $15, 75$

A gas takes part in two processes in which it is heated from the same initial state $1$ to the same final temperature. The processes are shown on the $P-V$ diagram by the straight line $1-2$ and $1-3$. $2$ and $3$ are the points on the same isothermal curve. $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ are the heat transfer along the two processes.
