The time is =1.53s=1.53s

Explanation:

Resolving in the vertical direction uarr^++

The initial velocity is u_0=15sin(1/6pi)ms^-1u0=15sin(16π)ms1

The time to reach the greatest height is =ts=ts

Applying the equation of motion

v=u+at=u- g t v=u+at=ugt

The time is t=(v-u)/(-g)=(0-15sin(1/6pi))/(-9.8)=0.765st=vug=015sin(16π)9.8=0.765s

The time taken to land is twice the time to reach the greatest height

T=2t=2*0.765=1.53sT=2t=20.765=1.53s

1.531 s1.531s

Explanation:

Here you actually asked about the wandering period of the projectile.

The initial velocity,v_0=15 ms^(-1)v0=15ms1

**The throwing angle of the projectile,θ=pi/6=30@π6=30 **
Suppose,Suppose,
The wandering period of the projectile, color(red)(T)=?T=?

we know that,
T=color(blue)((2v_0sintheta)/g)=(2xx15ms^(-1)xxsin30@)/(9.8 ms^(-2))=1.531 sT=2v0sinθg=2×15ms1×sin309.8ms2=1.531scolor(red)((Ans.)(Ans.)
