Two particles are projected from the same point


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 262 People


Two particle projected from the same point with same speed u at angles of projection α and β strike the horizontal ground at the same point. if h1 and h2 are the maximum heights attained by the projectile, r is the range for both and t1 and t2 are their times of flights, respectively, then

Given that two particles are projected with same speed and both have same range so we can write

R_1 = R_2

\frac{u^2sin2\alpha}{g} = \frac{u^2sin2\beta}{g}

sin2\alpha = sin2\beta

2\alpha = 180 - 2\beta[\tex][tex]\alpha + \beta = 90

now for heights

h_1 = \frac{u^2 sin^2\alpha}{2g}

h_2 = \frac{u^2 sin^2\beta}{2g}

now the ratio of above two cases

\frac{h_1}{h_2} = \frac{sin^2\alpha}{sin^2\beta}

since we know that

\alpha + \beta = 90

\frac{h_1}{h_2} = \frac{sin^2\alpha}{sin^2(90 - \alpha)}

\frac{h_1}{h_2} = tan^2\alpha

now similarly for time of flight

T_1 = \frac{2usin\alpha}{g}

T_2 = \frac{2usin\beta}{g}

since we know that

\alpha + \beta = 90

T_2 = \frac{2usin(90 - \alpha)}{g}

T_2 = \frac{2ucos\beta}{g}

now the ratio of two cases

\frac{T_1}{T_2} = tan\alpha
