    A projectile is thrown in the upward direction making an angle of \[{{60}^{0}}\] with the horizontal direction with a velocity of \[147\,m{{s}^{-1}}.\] Then the time after which its inclination with the horizontal is \[{{45}^{o}},\] is

    A)  15s           

    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 \[u=u\sin {{60}^{o}}\] \[=\frac{147\sqrt{3}}{2}m\] 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 \[9.8\,t=\frac{147}{2}(\sqrt{3}-1)\] \[t=\frac{147}{2}(\sqrt{3}-1)\] \[\therefore \] \[t=5.49\,s\]
