NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 11

Which of the following combinations about projectile motion and its range is correct?

A

The range is maximum at an angle of 45 degrees; elevations exceeding or falling short of 45 degrees yield equal ranges.

B

The range can only be calculated for angles less than 45 degrees; it decreases with increasing elevation.

C

The range is independent of the initial velocity of projection; it only depends on the angle of projection.

D

For any angle of projection, the range is always equal to the maximum height achieved by the projectile.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The correct answer is A, as it is established that the range is maximum at 45 degrees and the ranges are equal for angles exceeding or falling short of 45 degrees by equal amounts, as stated in the NCERT context.
