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

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

    B)        \[\tan \left( \frac{1}{5} \right)\]

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

    D)        \[{{\tan }^{-1}}(5)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Time taken by the bomb to strike ground is given by \[t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\] \[10=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{10}}\]or \[100=\frac{2h}{10}\]                 or \[2h=1000\]  \[\Rightarrow \]               \[h=500\,m\] Vertical velocity is \[\upsilon =\sqrt{2g\,h}=\sqrt{2\times 10\times 500}=100\,m/s\] Hence,                  \[\text{tan}\,=\frac{\text{vertical}\,\text{velocity}}{\text{horizontal}\,\text{velcity}}\]                                 \[\tan \theta =\frac{100}{500}=\frac{1}{5}\] \[\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{5} \right)\]
