Question

A projectile has a range of 50 m and reaches a maximum height of 10 m. What is the elevation of the projectile?

Answer 1

Given: R = 50m, H = 10 m

To find: Elevation of the projectile (θ)

Calculation: Dividing formula (ii) by (i), we get,

∴ θ = tan^-1 (0.8)

∴ θ = 38.66°

The elevation of the projectile is 38.66°
