    The range of particle when launched at an angle of \[{{15}^{o}}\] with the horizontal is\[1.5km\]. What is the range of the projectile when launched at an angle of \[{{45}^{o}}\] to the horizontal?

    A) \[3.0km\]                           

    B) \[1.5km\]

    C) \[6.0km\]                           

    D) \[0.75km\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The horizontal range\[{{R}_{x}}=\frac{{{u}^{2}}\sin 2\theta }{g}\] When projected at an angle of\[{{15}^{o}}\]                 \[{{R}_{{{x}_{1}}}}=\frac{{{u}^{2}}}{g}\sin (2\times 15)=\frac{{{u}^{2}}}{2g}\]      ... (i) When projected at an angle of\[{{45}^{o}}\]                 \[{{R}_{{{x}_{2}}}}=\frac{{{u}^{2}}}{g}\sin (2\times {{45}^{o}})=\frac{{{u}^{2}}}{g}\]         ... (ii) According to question\[\frac{{{u}^{2}}}{2g}=1.5km\] Therefore,\[{{R}_{{{x}_{2}}}}\]which is equal to\[\frac{{{u}^{2}}}{g}\]must be\[3.0\text{ }km\].
