    A projectile is thrown in the upward direction making an angle of 600 with the horizontal direction with a velocity of 147 ms-1. Then the time after which its inclination with the horizontal is 45°, is:

    A) 15 s                                       

    B) 10.98 s

    C) 5.49 s                                    

    D) 2.745 s

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: At the two points of the trajectory during projection, the horizontal component of the velocity is the same. Horizonal component of velocity at angle \[{{60}^{o}}\] = Horizontal component of velocity at \[{{45}^{o}}\] i.e.,  \[u\cos {{60}^{o}}=v\sin {{45}^{o}}\] or                \[147\times \frac{1}{2}=v\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\] or               \[v=\frac{147}{\sqrt{2}}m/s\] Vertical component of \[v=v\sin {{45}^{o}}\]                          \[=\frac{147}{\sqrt{2}}\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]                               \[=\frac{147}{2}\,m\] but                     \[{{v}_{y}}={{u}_{y}}+at\] \[\therefore \]                 \[\frac{147}{2}=\frac{147\sqrt{3}}{2}-9.8\,t\] or              \[9.8\,t=\,\frac{147}{2}(\sqrt{3}-1)\] \[\therefore \]            \[t=5.49\,s\]
