The range of a projectile is 100 m . Its kinetic energy will be maximum after covering a distance of:
Options
- A25   m
- B50   m
- C75   m
- D100   m
Correct answer
D. 100   m
Step-by-step solution
The expression for a horizontal range of a projectile is, R = u 2 sin 2 θ g   here, θ   is the angle of projection and u   is the initial resultant velocity. The expression for kinetic energy is, K E = 1 2 m v 2 For the maximum kinetic energy, the velocity should be maximum, now the velocity of the projectile is u = u x 2 + u y 2 In the expression of the velocity of particle during projectile, the horizontal component of velocity is constant, i.e., u x = constant   therefore, net veloc
