The time taken by a projectile to reach its maximum height is:
Correct answer: B. Option B
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
When a projectile is launched vertically, the time taken to reach the maximum height is crucial in understanding its motion. The correct answer is Option B. This is because the time taken to reach the maximum height is half of the total flight time due to the symmetric nature of the projectile's motion. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not consider this relationship between time and height in two-dimensional motion.

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.
