Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1.5 s

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For a projectile, \(y=3 x-0.8 x^2\)....(i) \(\begin{aligned} & \text { At } x=R, y=0 \\ & \therefore \quad 0=3 R-0.8 R^2 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad R(0.8 R-3)=0 \\ & \therefore \quad R=\frac{3}{0.8}=\frac{15}{4} m \end{aligned}\) Also,…
