A projectile is thrown from a point O on the ground at an angle 45° from the vertical and with a speed 5√2 m/s. The projectile at the highest point of its trajectory splits into two equal parts. One part falls vertically down to the ground, 0.5 s after the splitting. The other part, t seconds after the splitting, falls to the ground at a distance x meters from the point O. The acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 m/s^2$.
Q.1 The value of t is ___ .
Q.2 The value of x is ___ .
Solution
The part that falls vertically down to the ground has initial speed = 0. So, it falls freely taking 0.5 s to reach the ground. Continue reading A projectile is thrown from a point O ….
