Vedclass · Answer

(B) The displacement vector $\vec{s}$ from the starting point $(0,0)$ to the highest point $(\frac{R}{2}, H)$ is given by $\vec{s} = \frac{R}{2} \hat{i} + H \hat{j}$.The magnitude of displacement is $|\vec{s}| = \sqrt{(\frac{R}{2})^2 + H^2}$.Given $R = \frac{u^2 \sin 2	heta}{g} = \frac{2u^2 \sin 	heta \cos 	heta}{g}$ and $H = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 	heta}{2g}$.So,$\frac{R}{2} = \frac{u^2 \sin 	heta \cos 	heta}{g}$.$|\vec{s}| = \sqrt{(\frac{u^2 \sin 	heta \cos 	heta}{g})^2 + (\frac{u^2 \sin^2 	heta}{2g})^2} = \frac{u^2 \sin 	heta}{g} \sqrt{\cos^2 	heta + \frac{\sin^2 	heta}{4}} = \frac{u^2 \sin 	heta}{2g} \sqrt{4 \cos^2 	heta + \sin^2 	heta} = \frac{u^2 \sin 	heta}{2g} \sqrt{3 \cos^2 	heta + 1}$.The time taken to reach the highest point is $t = \frac{u \sin 	heta}{g}$.Average velocity $V_{avg} = \frac{|\vec{s}|}{t} = \frac{\frac{u^2 \sin 	heta}{2g} \sqrt{3 \cos^2 	heta + 1}}{\frac{u \sin 	heta}{g}} = \frac{u}{2} \sqrt{1 + 3 \cos^2 	heta}$.
