Physics Motion in a Straight Line Mix MCQ (Single Correct)

A particle is projected up an inclined plane of inclination α α to the horizontal. If the particle strikes the plane horizontally then tan α α =

tan β β

2 tan β β

3 tan β β

1/2 tan β β

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

As the particle strikes the plane horizontally, its velocity is parallel to horizontal axis so its vertical velocity is given by

0 = u sin β β - gt(v = u + at)

or u sin β β = g

( Q  t is time of flight)

or sin β β cos α α = 2[sin β β cos α α - cos β β sin α α ]

or 2cos β β sin α α = sin β β cos α α

or 2

or 2 tan α α = tan β β or tan α α = 1/2 tan β β
