Projectile Motion BasicsEasyQuestion 5306
Question
For a projectile launched with speed u at angle θ, the maximum height is:
- Au²sin²θ/g
- Bu²sin²θ/2gCorrect
- Cu²sinθ/2g
- Du²sin2θ/g
Correct answer
u²sin²θ/2g
Explanation
At maximum height, vertical velocity = 0. v² = (usinθ)² − 2gH → H = u²sin²θ/2g.
