If \(x\) and \(y\) coordinates of a projectile as a function of time \((t)\) are given as \(24t\) and \(43.6t-4.9t^2\), respectively, then the angle (in degrees) made by the projectile with horizontal when \(t=2\) s is ______.

  1. A \(60\)
  2. B \(45\)
  3. C \(30\)
  4. D \(75\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(45\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The velocity components of the projectile are given by the derivatives of the position coordinates with respect to time. \(v_x = \dfrac{dx}{dt} = \dfrac{d}{dt}(24t) = 24\) \(v_y = \dfrac{dy}{dt} = \dfrac{d}{dt}(43.6t - 4.9t^2) = 43.6 - 9.8t\) At \(t = 2\) s, the velocity…
