A body is projected with an initial velocity u at angle (theta) to the horizontal. If (R_{max}) is the maximum range of the projectile, what does the relation (frac{u^{2}}{R_{max}}) represent?
-
A.
The vertical distance covered -
B.
Acceleration due to gravity -
C.
The horizontal distance covered -
D.
The acceleration of the body
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
(R_{max} = frac{u^{2}}{g})
Hence, (g = frac{u^{2}}{R_{max}})
