Question

If the maximum range of projectile is x. show that the maximum height reached by the same projectile is x/4.

​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The maximum range of a projectile is x.

Maximum range occurs when the angle of projection is 45°. Using formula for maximum range.

`R=(v^2)/(g)`

According to the question,

`x=(v^2)/(g)` ...(1)

Maximum height,

`h=(v^2)/(2g)`

From equation (1).

`h=(x)/(2)`

Hence, this is the required solution.
