Motion in a Plane - Result Question 38

41. The maximum range of a gun of horizontal terrain is $16 km$. If $g=10 ms^{-2}$, then muzzle velocity of a shell must be

[1990]

(a) $160 ms^{-1}$

(b) $200 \sqrt{2} ms^{-1}$

(c) $400 ms^{-1}$

(d) $800 ms^{-1}$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 41. (c)

Solution:

  1. (c) $R _{\max }=\frac{v^{2}}{g}=16000[16 km=16000 m]$ or $v=(16000 g)^{1 / 2}=(16000 \times 10)^{1 / 2}=400 ms^{-1}$
