Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

For a given velocity, a projectile has the same range $R$ for two angles of projection if $t_1$ and $t_2$ are the times of flight in the two cases then

A

${t_1}{t_2} \propto \,{R^2}$

B

${t_1}{t_2} \propto \,R$

C

${t_1}{t_2} \propto \,\frac{1}{R}$

D

${t_1}{t_2} \propto \,\frac{1}{{{R^2}}}$

For a given velocity, a projectile has the same range $R$ for two angles of projection if $t_1$ and $t_2$ are the times of flight in the two cases then

For same range angle of projection should be $\theta$ and $90-\theta$

So, time of flights ${t_1} = \frac{{2u\sin \theta }}{g}$ and

${t_2} = \frac{{2u\sin (90 - \theta )}}{g} = \frac{{2u\cos \theta }}{g}$

By multiplying$ = {t_1}{t_2} = \frac{{4{u^2}\sin \theta \cos \theta }}{{{g^2}}}$

${t_1}{t_2} = \frac{2}{g}\frac{{({u^2}\sin 2\theta )}}{g} = \frac{{2R}}{g}$

$⇒$ ${t_1}{t_2} \propto R$
