NEETPhysicsMotion in Two Dimensions
Assertion (A) The range of a projectile is maximum when the angle of projection is (45^ ). Reason (R) The range of a projectile depends only on the angle of projection.
Options
- ABoth (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of ((A) ).
- BBoth (A) and (R) are true but ((R) ) is not the correct explanation of ((A) ).
- C(A) is true but (R) is false.
- D(A) is false but ((R) ) is true.
Correct answer
C. (A) is true but (R) is false.
Step-by-step solution
Assertion is true. (A) The range of projectile is maximum when the angle of projection is (45^ ). (R_ = u^2 (2 45) g = u^2 g ) But reason ((R) ) is false. ( ) Range of a projectile, (R= u^2 2 g ) Hence, the range of projectile depends on the angle of projection ( ) and initial velocity (u ). ( ) (A) ( ) True (B) ( ) False
