A projectile is launched from ground level at an angle of 15 degrees above the horizontal. It lands a distance of 20 meters from the launcher. Which of the following launch angles would result in the same range if the launch speed is kept the same?

A. 60 degrees
B. 30 degrees
C. 75 degrees
D. 85 degrees

Respuesta :

C. The launch angle that would result in the same range if the launch speed is kept the same is 75⁰.

Angle of projection

The angle of projection is calculated as follows;

R = u²sin(2θ) / g

where;

  • θ is the angle of projection

θ = 15⁰

sin 2θ = sin 2(15) = sin (30) = 0.5

Equivalent angle of projection

θ = 90⁰ - 15⁰ = 75⁰

sin(2θ) = sin (2 x 75⁰) = sin (150⁰) = 0.5

Thus, the launch angle that would result in the same range if the launch speed is kept the same is 75⁰.
