Q37 / 126 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Motion In Two Dimensions

A large box is moving on a horizontal floor with constant acceleration a=g. A particle is projected inside the box with velocity u and angle θ  with horizontal from box frame. For the given u the value of θ  for which horizontal range inside the box will be maximum is 

  • A
    π4
  • Correct answer
    B
    π8
  • C
    3π8
  • D
    π3

Solution

T= 2u sinθg

R= u2 sin2θg–2u2 sin2θg

R will be maximum when dRdθ=0

⇒ 2 u 2 g cos2θ− 2 u 2 g .2sinθ cosθ=0

⇒2cos2θ=4sinθcosθ

⇒cos2θ=sin2θ

⇒2θ= π 4

⇒θ=π8

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
