Galileo writes that for angles of projection of a projectile at angles \(\left( 45 - \theta \right)\) and \(\left( 45 - \theta \right)\) , the horizontal ranges described by the projectile are in the ratio of (if \(\theta \leq 45\)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
For angle \(\left( 45^\circ - \theta \right)\) , \(R = \frac{u^{2} \sin(90^{\circ} - 2\theta)}{g} = \frac{u^{2} \cos 2\theta}{g}\)
For angle \(\left( 45^\circ + \theta \right)\) , \(R = \frac{u^{2} \sin(90^{\circ} - 2\theta)}{g} = \frac{u^{2} \cos 2\theta}{g}\)
