(a) The diagram below illustrates a projectile motion. Identify each of the physical quantities labeled P, β, H and R.

(b) Write an equation to show the relationship between P, g and Rmax’ where g is the acceleration due to gravity and Rmax is maximum R.

Explanation

The expected answer is

(a)Identification of labelled physical quantities

P - initial velocity/ velocity of projection

b - angle of projection

H - maximum height reached

R - range/horizontal distance (covered)

(b)Equation showing relationship between P, g and Rmax

Rmax = \(\frac{p^2}{g}\)
