    The height y and distance x along the horizontal plane of projectile on a certain planet (with no surrounding) are given by: \[y=(8t-5{{t}^{2}})\] metre and x = 6t metre where t is in second. The velocity with which the projectile is projected is:

    A) 8 m/s    

    B)                                        6 m/s

    C)        10 m/s                 

    D)         data is not sufficient

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea s Velocity is the rate of change of displacement. Velocity of particle, \[v=\]rate of change of displacement i.e.,        \[v=\frac{dr}{dt}\] Given,   \[x=6t\]                                                ?(i) and        \[y=8t-5{{t}^{2}}\]                           ?(ii) Differentiating Eqs.(i) and (ii), we get \[{{v}_{x}}=\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}(6t)=6\,m/s\] and \[{{v}_{y}}=\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}(8t-5{{t}^{2}})=(8-10)m/s\] At \[t=0,\]           \[{{v}_{x}}{{|}_{t=0}}=6\,m/s\] and                        \[{{v}_{y}}{{|}_{t=0}}=8\,m/s\] Hence, velocity of projection at time \[t=0\]is \[v=\sqrt{{{v}_{x}}^{2}+{{v}_{y}}^{2}}=\sqrt{{{(6)}^{2}}+{{(8)}^{2}}}\] \[=\sqrt{36+64}=\sqrt{100}=10\,m/s\]
