Q2. The maximum range of a bullet fired from a toy pistol mounted on a car at rest is R0 = 40 m. What will be the acute angle of inclination of the pistol for maximum range when the car is moving in the direction of firing with uniform velocity v = 20 m/s on a horizontal surface? (g = 10 m/s2) (1) 30∘ (2) 60∘ (3) 75∘ (4) 45∘

What This Question Tests

This question combines projectile motion with relative velocity, requiring the student to correctly formulate the range in the moving frame and then use calculus to find the angle for maximum range.

Concepts Tested

Relative velocityRange of projectileMaximizing rangeDerivatives for optimization

Formulas Used

R = u^2/g (for 45 deg)

R = u_x * T

T = 2u_y/g

dR/dθ = 0

9.17(A) Sin I¢C = 1.44/1.68 Which Gives I¢C = 59°. Total Internal Reflection

9.17 (a) sin i¢c = 1.44/1.68 which gives i¢c = 59°. Total internal reflection takes place when i > 59° or when r < rmax = 31°. Now, (sin i /sin r max max ) = 1.68 , which gives imax ~ 60°. Thus, all incident rays of angles in the range 0 < i < 60° will suffer total internal reflections in the pipe. (If the length of the pipe is finite, which it is in practice, there will be a lower limit on i determined by the ratio of the diameter to the length of the pipe.) (b) If there is no outer coating, i¢c = sin–1(1/1.68) = 36.5°. Now, i = 90° will have r = 36.5° and i¢ = 53.5° which is greater than i¢c. Thus, all incident rays (in the range 53.5° < i < 90°) will suffer total internal reflections.
