The range of the projectile depends upon the velocity of the projection and the angle of the projection i.e. 45. For a fixed velocity, when the angle of projection is larger than 45. Which of the following is correct?
Correct answer: A. The height attained by the projectile will be more but the range is less.
- A. The height attained by the projectile will be more but the range is less.
- B. Both the height and the range attained by the projectile will be more.
- C. The height attained by the projectile will be less but the range is more.
- D. Both the height and the range attained by the projectile will be less.
Explanation
In the formula for range, it is maximum when the value of sin(2θ) is maximum. This value occurs when 2θ is equal to 90 therefore θ = 45. Beyond θ = 45, the Range decreases. The height increases beyond θ = 45 because it is calculated using Sin(θ).

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.
