If the velocity at the maximum height of a projectile projected at an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) is \(20 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\), then the maximum height reached by the projectile is (Acceleration due to gravity \(=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}\) )

  1. A 10 m
  2. B 20 m
  3. C 30 m
  4. D 40 m
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 20 m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v_x = u \cos \theta\) \(20 = u \cos 45^{\circ}\) \(u = \frac{20}{\cos 45^{\circ}} = \frac{20}{1/\sqrt{2}} = 20\sqrt{2} \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\) \(H = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g}\) \(H = \frac{(20\sqrt{2})^2 \sin^2 45^{\circ}}{2 \times 10}\)…
