Question

For a projectile launched with speed u at angle θ, the maximum height is:
  1. A
    u²sin²θ/g
  2. B
    u²sin²θ/2g
    Correct
  3. C
    u²sinθ/2g
  4. D
    u²sin2θ/g

Correct answer

u²sin²θ/2g

Explanation

At maximum height, vertical velocity = 0. v² = (usinθ)² − 2gH → H = u²sin²θ/2g.
