    A projectile is thrown in the upward direction making an angle of \[60{}^\circ \] with the horizontal direction with a velocity of 147\[m{{s}^{-1}}\]. Then the time after which its inclination with the horizontal is \[45{}^\circ \], is            

    A) \[15\left( \sqrt{3}-1 \right)\text{s}\]   

    B)        \[15\left( \sqrt{3}+1 \right)\text{s}\]

    C) \[7.5\left( \sqrt{3}-1 \right)\text{s}\]         

    D)        \[7.5\left( \sqrt{3}+1 \right)\text{s}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] At the two points of the trajectory during projectile motion, the horizontal component of the velocity is same.
    Then \[\text{u cos 60 }\!\!{}^\circ\!\!\text{  = v cos 4}5{}^\circ .\]
    \[\Rightarrow 150\times \frac{1}{2}=\text{v}\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\text{ or }\frac{150}{\sqrt{2}}\text{ m/s}\]
    \[\text{Initially: }{{\text{u}}_{y}}=u\sin 60{}^\circ =\frac{150\sqrt{3}}{2}\text{ m/s}\]
    \[\text{Finally: }{{\text{v}}_{y}}=v\sin 45{}^\circ =\frac{150}{\sqrt{2}}\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{150}{2}\text{ m/s}\]
    \[\text{But }{{\text{v}}_{y}}={{u}_{y}}+{{a}_{y}}t\text{ or }\frac{150}{2}=\frac{150\sqrt{3}}{2}-10t\]
    \[10\,t=\frac{150}{2}\left( \sqrt{3}-1 \right)\text{ or t}\,\text{= 7}\text{.5}\left( \sqrt{3}-1 \right)s\]
