For a given value of Vi, the maximum range of a projectile is given by:
Correct answer: C. Option C
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
Explanation:The correct formula for the maximum range of a projectile is Range max = v^2/g. This is derived from the equations of motion in two dimensions. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not provide the correct formula for calculating the maximum range.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
