AIIMS 2019 Physics Range and Time of Flight MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Ratio between maximum range and square of time of flight in projectile motion is

A

g2\frac{g}{2}

B

g5\frac{g}{5}

C

g10\frac{g}{10}

D

g12\frac{g}{12}

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The ratio of maximum range RR to the square of the time of flight T2T^2 in projectile motion simplifies to RT2=g2cotθ\frac{R}{T^2} = \frac{g}{2} \cot \theta, demonstrating the relationship between these two parameters. This result is derived from substituting the formulas for RR and TT into the ratio, confirming that it holds true for any angle θ\theta. Since option A is the only one provided, it is deemed correct, while other options are not applicable or relevant in this context. Understanding this ratio helps in analyzing projectile motion and its dependence on launch angle and initial velocity.
