PHYSICS
WAEC 1993

An object is projected with a velocity of 100 ms-1 from the ground level at an angle 0 to the vertical. If the total time of flight of the projectile is 10 s, calculate ?. (g = 10 ms-2).

  • A. 0°
  • B. 30°
  • C. 45°
  • D. 60°

Correct Answer: B. 30°

Explanation

T =
2u sin?/g

sin? =
Tg/2u
=
10 x 10/2 x 100
= 0.5

,? = sin-10.5 = 30o
