NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 11
Consider a projectile launched with an initial velocity v₀ at an angle θ₀ with the horizontal. Which of the following angles θ₀ will yield maximum horizontal range for the projectile?
A
45°
B
30°
C
60°
D
90°
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The horizontal range of a projectile is maximum when the angle of projection θ₀ is 45°, as derived from the equation R = (v₀²/g) sin 2θ₀. Maximum range occurs when sin 2θ₀ is maximum, which is at θ₀ = 45°.
