Q90 / 180 · NEET 2019 (All India) · Physics

When an object is shot from the bottom of a long smooth inclined plane kept at an angle 60° with horizontal, it can travel a distance x1 along the plane. But, when the inclination is decreased to 30° and the same object is shot with the same velocity, it can travel x2 distance. Then x1:x2 will be

  • A
    1:⁡2
  • B
    2:⁡1
  • Correct answer
    C
    1:⁡3
  • D
    1:⁡23

Solution

The equation of motion in exclusive
v2=2gsin60°x1 …(1)
v2=2gsin30°x2
Equating, 
2gsin60°x1=2gsin30°x2
x1:x2=1:3

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