MCQ
The horizontal range and maximum height attained by a projectile are $R$ and $H$, respectively. If a constant horizontal acceleration $a=g / 4$ is imparted to the projectile due to wind, then its horizontal range and maximum height will be
  • A
    $(R+H), \frac{H}{2}$
  • B
    $\left(R+\frac{H}{2}\right), 2 H$
  • C
    $( R +2 H ), H$
  • $(R+H), H$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$(R+H), H$
d
(d)

$H=H$ (as vertical component of acceleration has not changed)

$R^{\prime} =u_x T+\frac{1}{2} a_x T^2$

$=R+\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{g}{4} \times \frac{4 u^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{g^2}$

$=R \frac{u^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{2 g}=(R+H)$

A student skates up a ramp that makes an angle $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. $He /$ she starts (as shown in the figure) at the bottom of the ramp with speed $v_0$ and wants to turn around over a semicircular path xyz of radius $R$ during which he/she reaches a maximum height $h$ (at point y) from the ground as shown in the figure. Assume that the energy loss is negligible and the force required for this turn at the highest point is provided by his/her weight only. Then ( $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity)
