A body is projected with an initial velocityu 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: B. Acceleration due to gravity
Explanation
\(R_{max} = \frac{u^{2}}{g}\)
Hence, \(g = \frac{u^{2}}{R_{max}}\)
