A projectile's horizontal range on level ground is r=v20sin2θ/g. at what launch angle or angles will the projectile land at half

Ksju [112]

As given the formula of range is

$R = \frac{v^2sin2\theta}{g}$

now for the maximum range

$\theta = 45$

$R_{max} = \frac{v^2}{g}$

now for half of this maximum range we will have

$\frac{R_{max}}{2} = \frac{v^2sin2\theta}{g}$

$\frac{v^2}{2g} = \frac{v^2sin2\theta}{g}$

now from above we have

$sin2\theta = \frac{1}{2}$

so two possible values for above is given as

$\theta = 15 degree, 75 degree$

so above two angle we will have half of maximum range

In physics, a force is said to do work if, when acting, there is a displacement of the point of application in the direction of the force. For example, when a ball is held above the ground and then dropped, the work done on the ball as it falls is equal to the weight of the ball (a force) multiplied by the distance to the ground (a displacement). so in the proble, She does NO work since the force she applies to the case is vertical and the direction of motion is horizontal. Work is the force times the parallel distance
