AIPMT PRELIMS 2006 Physics Projectile Motion MCQ Question
For angles of projection of a projectile at angles (45°+θ) and (45°-θ), the horizontal ranges described by the projectile are in the ratio of:
1 : 1
2 : 3
1 : 2
3 : 2
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The range of a projectile is maximum at 45°. For angles equidistant from 45°, the ranges are equal, hence the ratio is 1:1.
