NEET Physics QUESTION #7338

Question 1

A missile is fired for maximum range with initial velocity $20\text{ m/s}$ ($g = 10\text{ m/s}^2$). The range of the missile is:

Correct Answer Explanation

Maximum range occurs at $\theta = 45°$:

$R_{\max} = \dfrac{u^2}{g} = \dfrac{(20)^2}{10} = \mathbf{40\text{ m}}$
