MCQ
Two balls are projected from the same point simultaneously.First ball is projected vertically upwards and the second ball at an angle of projection $60^o$ to the ground level. Both the balls reach the ground simultaneously. The ratio of their velocities are
  • A
    $1:2$
  • B
    $3:2$
  • $\sqrt 3: 2$
  • D
    $2:3$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\sqrt 3: 2$
c
time of flight $\mathrm{T}_{1}=\frac{2 \mathrm{u}_{1}}{\mathrm{g}}, \quad \mathrm{T}_{2}=\frac{2 \mathrm{u}_{2} \sin 60^{\circ}}{\mathrm{g}}$

Time of flights are equal, so $\mathrm{T}_{2}=\mathrm{T}_{1}$ $\frac{2 u \sqrt{3}}{2 g}=\frac{2 u_{1}}{g}=u_{2} \sqrt{3}=2 u_{1} \Rightarrow \frac{u_{1}}{u_{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

A projectile is launched from the origin in the $xy$ plane ( $x$ is the horizontal and $y$ is the vertically up direction) making an angle $\alpha$ from the $x$-axis. If its distance. $r =\sqrt{ x ^2+ y ^2}$ from the origin is plotted against $x$, the resulting curves show different behaviours for launch angles $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ as shown in the figure below. For $\alpha_1, r ( x )$ keeps increasing with $x$ while for $\alpha_2$, $r(x)$ increases and reaches a maximum, then decreases and goes through a minimum before increasing again. The switch between these two cases takes place at an angle $\alpha_c\left(\alpha_1 < \alpha_c < \alpha_2\right)$. The value of $\alpha_c$ is [ignore where $v_0$ is the initial speed of the projectile and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity]
