Question:

The number of bullets are fired in all possible directions with the same initial velocity $u$. The maximum area of ground covered by bullets is :

Updated On: Aug 1, 2022
  • $\pi\left(\frac{2 u^{2}}{g}\right)^{2}$
  • $2 \pi\left(\frac{u}{g}\right)^{2}$
  • $\pi\left(\frac{u}{2 g}\right)^{2}$
  • $\pi\left(\frac{u^{2}}{g}\right)^{2}$

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Range $R=\frac{u^{2} \sin 2 \theta}{\dot{8}}$ Range $R$ will be maximum if $\sin 2 \theta=1$ so, $R_{\max }=\frac{u^{2}}{g}$ Maximum area covered $=\pi\left(R_{\max }\right)^{2}=\pi\left(\frac{u^{2}}{g}\right)^{2}$

Speed and Velocity

The rate at which an object covers a certain distance is commonly known as speed.

The rate at which an object changes position in a certain direction is called velocity.
