MCQ
Which one of the following statements is not true about the motion of a projectile?
  • A
    The time of flight of a projectile is proportional to the speed with which it is projected at a given angle of projection
  • The horizontal range of a projectile is proportional to the square root of the speed with which it is projected
  • C
    For a given speed of projection, the angle of projection for maximum range is $45^{\circ}$
  • D
    At maximum height, the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to the velocity of the projectile

Answer

Correct option: B.
The horizontal range of a projectile is proportional to the square root of the speed with which it is projected
b
(b)

$R=\frac{u^2 \sin 2 \theta}{g} \Rightarrow R \propto u^2$
