Question
Assertion : In javelin throw, the athlete throws the projectile at an angle slightly more than $45^{\circ}$.
Reason : The maximum range does not depends upon angle of projection.

Answer

(d) If a body is projected from a place above the surface of earth, then for the maximum range, the angle of projection should be slightly less than $45^{\circ}$.
