An object is projected with a velocity of 20 m/s making an angle of 45∘ with horizontal. The equation for the trajectory is h = Ax – Bx2 where h is height, x is horizontal distance, A and B are constants. The ratio A : B is (g = 10 ms−2)
Standard equation of projectile motion
y = xtanθ - gx22u2cos2θ
Comparing with given equation
A= tanθ and B = g2u2cos2θ
So AB = tanθ×2u2cos2θg = 40
(θ = 45∘ , u = 20 m/s, g = 10 m/s2)
