JEE Main 2022 · 27 Jun · Shift 1, Physics question 31

A projectile is launched at an angle 'α\alpha' with the horizontal with a velocity 20 ms−1^{-1}. After 10 s, its inclination with horizontal is 'β\beta'. The value of tan⁡β\tan\beta will be : (g=10g=10 ms−2^{-2}).

Choose one option
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: B

Velocity after 10 s. vx=20cos⁡αv_x=20\cos\alpha, vy=20sin⁡α−100v_y=20\sin\alpha-100.

Slope. tan⁡β=20sin⁡α−10020cos⁡α=tan⁡α−5sec⁡α\tan\beta=\dfrac{20\sin\alpha-100}{20\cos\alpha}=\tan\alpha-5\sec\alpha.
