    A bomber plane moves horizontally with a speed of \[500\,\,m/s\] and bomb released from it strikes the ground in\[10\sec \]. Angle at which it strikes the ground will be\[(g=10m/{{s}^{2}})\]

    A) \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{1}{5}\]                        

    B) \[{{\tan }^{+1}}\frac{1}{5}\]

    C) \[{{\tan }^{-1}}1\]                           

    D) \[{{\tan }^{-1}}5\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Here: Speed of bomber plane                                                                 \[v=500\,\,m/s\] Time taken by bomb to strike the ground \[t=10\sec \]      and        \[g=10\,\,m/{{s}^{2}}\] Using the relation                 \[t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\]               or            \[\frac{2h}{10}={{10}^{2}}\] or            \[2h=1000\], So,          \[h=500\,\,m\] The vertical velocity                 \[=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2\times 10\times 500}=100\,\,m/s\] Hence, \[\tan \theta =\frac{vertical\,\,velocity}{horizontal\,\,velocity}=\frac{100}{500}=\frac{1}{5}\] or                            \[\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{1}{5}\]
