Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
The expected answer is
(a) Identification of labelled physical quantities
P - initial velocity/ velocity of projection
b - angle of projection
H - maximum height reached
R - range/horizontal distance (covered)
(b) Equation showing relationship between P, g and Rmax
Rmax = \(\frac{p^2}{g}\)
The expected answer is
(a) Identification of labelled physical quantities
P - initial velocity/ velocity of projection
b - angle of projection
H - maximum height reached
R - range/horizontal distance (covered)
(b) Equation showing relationship between P, g and Rmax
Rmax = \(\frac{p^2}{g}\)
