If a jumping frog can give itself the same initial speed regardless of the direction in which it jumps (forward or straight up), how is the maximum vertical height to which it can jump related to its maximum horizontal range Rmax=v02g?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The relation of maximum horizontal range and maximum vertical height is 4Hmax=Rmax.

Step by step solution

01

Concept/Significance of range of projectile motion

The projectile's horizontal range is the maximum distance it travels horizontally before striking the ground, and it is proportional to the angle of projection.

02

Determination of relation of the maximum vertical height to which it can jump to its maximum horizontal range.

The range of the projectile is given by,

Rmax=v02sin2αg

Here,v0is the initial velocity,αis the angle, g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Maximum height is given by,

H=v02sin2α2g

The maximum horizontal range for angle of projection of 45.

Rmax=v02sin245°g=v02g …(¾±)

The maximum vertical height angle 45 is given by,

H=v02sin245°2g=v024g …(¾±¾±)

The relation between height and range is given by equation (i) and (ii),

Hmax=Rmax44Hmax=Rmax

Thus, the relation of maximum horizontal range and maximum vertical height is 4Hmax=Rmax.
