Question

Two balls are projected at an angle θ and (90° − θ) to the horizontal with the same speed. The ratio of their maximum vertical heights is:

Options

• 1 : 1

• tan θ : 1

• 1 : tan θ

• tan²θ : 1

Answer 1

tan²θ : 1

Explanation:

`"H"_1/"H"_2 = ("u"^2 sin^2θ//2"g")/("u"^2 sin^2(90° - θ)//2"g")` = tan²θ
