Q161 / 170 · Manipal (MET) 2020 · Physics

Four projectiles are thrown with the same initial speed making angles $27^{\circ}, 36^{\circ}, 43^{\circ}, 51^{\circ}$, with the horizontal. The range of projectiles will be largest for the projectile fired at angle

  • A
    $27^{\circ}$
  • B
    $36^{\circ}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $43^{\circ}$
  • D
    $51^{\circ}$

Solution

Range of a projectile is maximum for angle of projection of $45^{\circ}$. The nearest value is $43^{\circ}$. Thus, among given values of angles of projection, range will be maximum for $43^{\circ}$.

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