Physics · MOTION IN A PLANE
हिन्दीGiven below are statements regarding projectile motion: (A) The path of a projectile is parabolic. (B) At the highest point of projectile motion, the velocity vector and acceleration vector are mutually perpendicular. (C) The time of flight depends only on the horizontal component of initial velocity. (D) The horizontal range is maximum when the projection angle is \( 45^\circ \). Which of the above statements are correct?
Correct answer · Option 3
(A), (B) and (D) only
Explanation
Statements (A), (B), and (D) are correct. Statement (C) is false because time of flight \( T_f = \frac{2v_o\sin\theta_o}{g} \) depends on the vertical component (\( v_o\sin\theta_o \)), not horizontal component.
