When do we get maximum range in a simple projectile motion?(a) When θ = 45°(b) When θ = 60°(c) When θ = 90°(d) When θ = 0°The question was posed to me during an internship interview.The doubt is from Simple Projectile Motion in chapter Motion in a Plane of Physics – Class 11 |

Answer» CORRECT option is (a) When θ = 45° Easiest EXPLANATION: The formula for horizontal range is R = v^2(sin 2θ)/G. This will be MAXIMUM when sin 2θ = 1, which implies that 2θ = 90°, which in turn implies that θ = 45°. Hence the correct answer is when θ = 45°. |
