NEET 2019 Physics Inclined Plane MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

When an object is shot from the bottom of a long smooth inclined plane kept at an angle 60° with horizontal, it can travel a distance x₁ along the plane. But when the inclination is decreased to 30° and the same object is shot with the same velocity, it can travel x₂ distance. Then x₁ : x₂ will be:

A

1 : √3

B

1 : 2√3

C

1 : √2

D

√2 : 1

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The range on an inclined plane is given by R = (u²/g) * (sin2θ). For θ = 60° and 30°, the ranges are proportional to sin120° and sin60°, respectively. The ratio is sin120°/sin60° = √3/1.
