AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Motion In Two Dimensions

A body is projected from the top of a tower with a velocity \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{u}}=3 \hat{\mathbf{i}}+4 \hat{\mathbf{j}}+5 \hat{\mathbf{k}} \mathrm{ms}^{-1}\), where \(\hat{\mathbf{i}}, \hat{\mathbf{j}}\) and \(\hat{\mathbf{k}}\) are unit vectors along east, north and vertically upwards respectively. If the height of the tower is \(30 \mathrm{~m}\), horizontal range of the body on the ground is \(\left(g=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\right)\)

  1. A 15 m
  2. B 25 m
  3. C 9 m
  4. D 12 m
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 15 m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

( \(\hat{\mathbf{k}}\) is given vertically upward direction) \( \begin{aligned} & a=-10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2 \\ & h=-30 \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned} \) As, \(S=u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^2 \Rightarrow-30=5 t-\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times t^2\) \( \Rightarrow t^2-t-6=0 \)…
