NEETPhysicsMotion in Two Dimensions
Assertion : In projectile motion if time of flight is 4 s. Then, maximum height will be (20 ~m . (g=10 ~m / s ^2 ) ) Reason : Maximum height (= g T 2 ).
Options
- AIf both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
- BIf both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
- CIf Assertion is true but Reason is false.
- DIf Assertion is false but Reason is true.
Correct answer
C. If Assertion is true but Reason is false.
Step-by-step solution
Assertion and Reason Analysis - Assertion: The assertion states that if the time of flight ( (T )) is 4 s, the maximum height ( (H )) is 20 m. We can verify this using the relationship between maximum height and time of flight. The time to reach the maximum height is half the total time of flight, so (t_ ascent =T / 2= 4 / 2=2 ~s ). Using the equation for displacement under constant acceleration: (H=u t_ ascent + 1 2 a t_ ascent ^2 ) The initial vertical velocity component is (u_y=g t_ ascent =10 ~m / s ^2 2 ~s =20
