A projectile is given an initial velocity of $$\left( {\hat i + 2\hat j} \right)m/s$$ where $${\hat i}$$ is along the ground and $${\hat j}$$ is along the vertical. If $$g = 10\,m/{s^2},$$ the equation of its trajectory is :
A.
$$y = x - 5{x^2}$$
B.
$$y = 2x - 5{x^2}$$
C.
$$4y = 2x - 5{x^2}$$
D.
$$4y = 2x - 25{x^2}$$
Answer :
$$y = 2x - 5{x^2}$$
Solution :
From equation, $$\vec v = \hat i + 2\hat j$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow x = t\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right) \cr
& y = 2t - \frac{1}{2}\left( {10{t^2}} \right)\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right) \cr} $$
From (i) and (ii),
$$y = 2x - 5{x^2}$$
