Question #213415

the time flight of a projectile is related to it it's horizontal range by the equation gT2 = 2R the angle of projection is?


Expert's answer

T=2vsin⁡αg,T=\frac{2v\sin\alpha}{g},

R=2v2sin⁡αcos⁡αg,R=\frac{2v^2\sin\alpha \cos\alpha}{g},

gT2=2R,gT^2=2R,

4gv2sin⁡2αg2=4v2sin⁡αcos⁡αg,\frac{4gv^2\sin^2\alpha}{g^2}=\frac{4v^2\sin\alpha\cos\alpha}{g},

sin⁡α=cos⁡α,\sin\alpha=\cos\alpha,

α=45°.\alpha=45°.
