Q16 / 126 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Motion In Two Dimensions

Two bodies are projected at angles θ and 90o-θ to the horizontal with the same speed. The ratio of their times of flight is

  • A
    sin⁡θ:1
  • B
    cos⁡θ:1
  • Correct answer
    C
    sin⁡θ:cos⁡θ
  • D
    cos⁡ θ:sin⁡θ

Solution

Time of flight, T=2u sin⁡θg

For θ, T1=2u sin⁡θg ......(i)

For 90o-θ, T2=2u sin⁡90o-θg=2u cos⁡θg .....(ii)

Dividing Equation. (i) by Equation. (ii), we get

∴   T1T2=2u sin⁡θg×g2u cos⁡θ=sin⁡θcos⁡θ

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