A projectile is fired from the surface of the earth with a velocity of and angle with the horizontal. Another projectile fired from another planet with a velocity of at the same angle follows a trajectory which is identical with the trajectory of the projectile fired from the earth. The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is (given, m/s)
m/s
m/s
m/s
m/s
To solve this problem, we need to compare the trajectories of two projectiles fired at the same angle but from different planets.Given:• Velocity of the projectile on Earth m/s• Velocity of the projectile on another planet m/s• Acceleration due to gravity on Earth m/sThe range of a projectile is given by the formula:Since the trajectories are identical, the ranges must be equal:Substitute the range formula for each projectile:Cancel from both sides (since is the same for both):Rearrange to solve for Substitute the known values: m/sRounding to one decimal place, the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is m/sTherefore, the correct option is Option 1.
