Q158 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2020 (23 Sep Shift 1) · Physics

Four projectiles are fired with the same velocities at angles 25°,40°,55° and 70° with the horizontal. The range of projectile will be largest for the one projected at angle _____.

  • A
    25°
  • Correct answer
    B
    40°
  • C
    55°
  • D
    70°

Solution

Range of projectile is given by R=u2sin2θg

Range for projection angle 25° is R1=u2sin2×25g

Range for projection angle 40° is R2=u2sin2×40g

Range for projection angle 55° is R3=u2sin2×55g

Range for projection angle70° is R4=u2sin2×70g

So range will be maximum for 40°

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
