JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 3.2 motion in plane

Two projectiles are projected with the same initial velocities at the \(15^\circ\) and \(30^\circ\) with respect to the horizontal. The ratio of their ranges is \(1:x\). The value of \(x\) is:

  1. A \(\sqrt{2}\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{3}\)
  3. C \(2\sqrt{3}\)
  4. D \(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\sqrt{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The horizontal range of a projectile is given by the formula \(R = \dfrac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g}\). For the first projectile, the angle of projection is \(\theta_1 = 15^\circ\). \(R_1 = \dfrac{u^2 \sin(2 \times 15^\circ)}{g} = \dfrac{u^2 \sin(30^\circ)}{g} = \dfrac{u^2}{2g}\) For…
