The velocity of a projectile when at its greatest height is sqrt((2)/(5)) of its velocity when at half of its greatest height find the angle of projection

Answer»

Solution :Step: we know that, VELOCITY of a projectile at half of maximum HEIGHT =`usqrt((1+cos^(2)theta)/(2))`
Step 2 : given that `u cos theta=sqrt((2)/(5))xxusqrt((1+cos^(2)theta)/(2))`
SQUARING on both SIDES `u^(2)cos^(2)theta = (2)/(5)u^(2)((1+cos^(2)theta)/(2))`
`10costheta = 2 + cos theta`
`RARR 8cos^(2)theta = 2 rArr cos^(2)theta=(1)/(4)rArr theta=60^(@)`
