Kinematics Question 620

Question: A projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of 5 ms1 and angle θ with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a velocity of 3 ms1 at the same angle follows a trajectory Which is identical with the trajectory of the projectile fired from the earth. The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet it’s (in ms2 ) given g = 9.8 m/s2

Options:

A) 3.5

B)5.9

C) 163

D)110.8

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] Horizontal range = u2sin2θg so gu2

or gplanetgearth=(uplanet)2(uearth)2

Therefore gplanet=(35)2(9.8 m/s2)

=3.5 m/s2
