Physics-Projectile Motion
NEET Physics Projectile Motion MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 11
Which of the following statements about projectile motion is correct?
A
The horizontal and vertical motions are dependent on each other.
B
The path of a projectile is a straight line.
C
The time taken to reach maximum height is equal to the total time of flight divided by two.
D
At maximum height, the horizontal velocity becomes zero.
Correct Answer
Option C
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.
