If the ratio of the horizontal range and the maximum height reached is 4:1. Then, if the body is thrown horizontally, what will be the projection angle?
Correct answer: A. 75o
- A. 75o
- B. 30o
- C. 60o
- D. 90o
Explanation
By using the trigonometric relationships between horizontal range and maximum height in projectile motion, we can determine the projection angle when the ratio is 4:1. The correct solution involves setting up the equations for horizontal range and maximum height, equating them based on the given ratio, and solving for the projection angle using trigonometric functions. The correct projection angle is approximately 75.96 degrees, as calculated using the tan inverse of 4. The other options provided do not align with the given ratio and are therefore incorrect.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
