COMEDK · Physics · 4. Motion In Two Dimensions

A metal ball of \(20 \mathrm{~g}\) is projected at an angle \(30^{\circ}\) with the horizontal with an initial velocity \(10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\). If the mass and angle of projection are doubled keeping the initial velocity the same, the ratio of the maximum height attained in the former to the latter case is :

  1. A 1 : 2
  2. B 3 : 1
  3. C 2 : 1
  4. D 1 : 3
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 1 : 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The maximum height \(H\) attained by a projectile is given by the formula \(H = \dfrac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g}\), where \(u\) is the initial velocity, \(\theta\) is the angle of projection, and \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity. In the first case,…
