Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

A large number of bullets are fired in all directions with same speed $v$. What is the maximum area on the ground on which these bullets will spread

A

$\pi \frac{{{v^2}}}{g}$

B

$\pi \frac{{{v^4}}}{{{g^2}}}$

C

${\pi ^2}\frac{{{v^4}}}{{{g^2}}}$

D

${\pi ^2}\frac{{{v^2}}}{{{g^2}}}$

A large number of bullets are fired in all directions with same speed $v$. What is the maximum area on the ground on which these bullets will spread

Area in which bullet will spread = $\pi {r^2}$

For maximum area, $r = {R_{\max }} = \frac{{{v^2}}}{g}    [{\rm{when }}  \theta \,\, = 45^\circ ]$

Maximum area $\pi \;R_{\max }^2 = \pi {\left( {\frac{{{v^2}}}{g}} \right)^2} = \frac{{\pi {v^4}}}{{{g^2}}}$
