Q: What is the correct answer for JEE Main Physics Q31?

The correct answer is B. Sol. The range of a projectile is given by $R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g}$. For the first projectile, $\theta_1 = 15^\circ$, so $R_1 = \frac{u^2 \sin(2 \times 15^\circ)}{g} = \frac{u^2 \sin(30^\circ)}{g}$. For the second projectile, $\theta_2 = 30^\circ$, so $R_2 = \frac{u^2 \sin(2 \times 30^\circ)}{g} = \frac{u^2 \sin(60^\circ)}{g}$. The ratio $\frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{\sin(30^\circ)}{\sin(60^\c

FirstInTest · Accepted Answer

Sol. The range of a projectile is given by $R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2	heta)}{g}$. For the first projectile, $	heta_1 = 15^\circ$, so $R_1 = \frac{u^2 \sin(2 	imes 15^\circ)}{g} = \frac{u^2 \sin(30^\circ)}{g}$. For the second projectile, $	heta_2 = 30^\circ$, so $R_2 = \frac{u^2 \sin(2 	imes 30^\circ)}{g} = \frac{u^2 \sin(60^\circ)}{g}$. The ratio $\frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{\sin(30^\circ)}{\sin(60^\circ)} = \frac{1/2}{\sqrt{3}/2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$. Given the ratio is $1:x$, so $\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$, which means $x = \sqrt{3}$.
