Which of the following statements about projectile motion is correct?
A
The range of a projectile is maximum when launched at an angle of 45 degrees.
B
The vertical and horizontal components of the projectile's motion are dependent on each other.
C
The range of a projectile is equal for angles exceeding and falling short of 45 degrees by the same amount.
D
The maximum height of a projectile is directly proportional to the horizontal distance traveled.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The range of a projectile is indeed maximum at an angle of 45 degrees, as stated in the NCERT context. Additionally, Galileo's observation reinforces that angles equidistant from 45 degrees yield equal ranges, which is also mentioned.
