If the equation of motion of a projectile is \(\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{Ax}-\mathrm{Bx}^2\), then the ratio of the maximum height reached and the range of the projectile is

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{A}}{4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mathrm{A}}{B}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{B}}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{A}^2}{\mathrm{~B}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\mathrm{A}}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Range \(R\): \(y=0 \implies Ax - Bx^2 = 0 \implies x(A - Bx) = 0\) \(R = A/B\) Maximum Height \(H\): \(\frac{dy}{dx} = A - 2Bx = 0 \implies x_H = A/(2B)\) \(H = A(A/(2B)) - B(A/(2B))^2 = A^2/(2B) - A^2/(4B) = A^2/(4B)\) Ratio \(\frac{H}{R}\):…
