    The maximum height attained by a projectile when thrown at an angle \[\theta \] with the horizontal is found to be half the horizontal range. Then 0 is equal to

    A)  \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( 2 \right)\]                

    B)  \[\frac{\pi }{6}\]

    C)  \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]                                             

    D)  \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Maximum height, \[{{H}_{0}}=\frac{{{u}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{2\,g}\]                 Range, \[R=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin \,2\theta }{2\,g}\] Given,                   \[{{H}_{0}}=\frac{R}{2}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{u}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{2g}=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin \theta \cos \theta }{2g}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sin \theta =2\cos \theta \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\tan \theta =2\] \[\therefore \]                  \[\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}(2)\]
