  • An object is projected in the air with initial velocity at an angle <img alt="\theta" src="https://en

An object is projected in the air with initial velocity \mathrm{u} at an angle \theta. The projectile motion is such that the horizontal range \mathrm{R}, is maximum. Another object is projected in the air with a horizontal range half of the range of first object. The initial velocity remains same in both the case. The value of the angle of projection, at which the second object is projected, will be________ degree.

\mathrm{R =\frac{u^2 \sin 2 \theta}{g}}
for maximum value of range, \mathrm{\theta=45^{\circ}}

\mathrm{\therefore R_1=\frac{u^2}{g} \rightarrow (1)}

\mathrm{R_2=\frac{R_1}{2}=\frac{u^2 \sin 2 \theta}{g} }

       \mathrm{\frac{u^2}{2 g}=\frac{u^2 \sin 2 \theta}{g} }

\mathrm{2\theta=30^{\circ} \text { or } 2\theta=150^{\circ}}

\mathrm{\theta=15^{\circ} \text { or } \theta=75^{\circ}}

The value of the angle of projection, at which the second object is projected will be 15 degree
