The horizontal range of a projectile, at a certain place, depends upon:
Correct answer: D. The angle as well as the velocity of the projection
- A. The mass of the projectile
- B. The velocity of the projection
- C. The angle of the projection
- D. The angle as well as the velocity of the projection
Explanation
The horizontal range R of a projectile is the horizontal distance traveled by the projectile before hitting the ground. It is given by the formula:R= v2(sin 2θ)/2g

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.
