Q34 of 43 Page 85

A grasshopper can jump a maximum horizontal distance of 40 cm. If it spends negligible time on the ground then in this case its speed along the horizontal road will be?

Maximum Horizontal distance = R

θ = angle of projection



Now, maximum value of R is when



If,







Given,


R = 40 cm = 0.4 m




Speed along the horizontal road

From the top of a tower 19.6m high a ball is thrown horizontally. If the line joining the point of projection to the point where it hits ground makes an angle of 45° with the horizontal then initial velocity of ball is:

a) 9.8 ms–1


b) 4.9 ms–1


c) 14.7 ms–1


d) 2.8 ms–1

Prove: For an elevation which exceed or fall short of 45° by equal amounts the ranges are equal.
