NEET Physics Projectile Motion MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about projectile motion is correct?
The horizontal and vertical motions are dependent on each other.
The path of a projectile is a straight line.
The time taken to reach maximum height is equal to the total time of flight divided by two.
At maximum height, the horizontal velocity becomes zero.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statement C is correct as it describes the time taken to reach maximum height (t_m) being half of the total time of flight (T_f), which is derived from the equations of motion for projectile motion. The other statements misunderstand the principles of independence in the two-dimensional motion of projectiles.
