Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \({R}_{1}={R}_{2}\) and \({H}_{1}<{H}_{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Range \({R}=\frac{{u}^{2} \sin 2 \theta}{{g}}\) and same for \(\theta\) and \(90-\theta\)

So same for \(42^{\circ}\) and \(48^{\circ}\)

Maximum height \({H}=\frac{{u}^{2} \sin ^{2} \theta}{2 {g}}\)

\({H}\) is high for higher \(\theta\)

So \({H}\) for \(48^{\circ}\) is higher than \({H}\) for \(42^{\circ}\)
