Q. For a projectile the ratio of maximum height reached to the square of time of flight is $(g\ = \ 10\ ms^{- 1})$

A) 5 : 1
B) 5 : 2
C) 5 : 4
D) 1 : 1
Explanation

(c) Maximum height, $H = \frac{u^{2}\sin^{2}\theta}{2g}$
Time of flight, $T = \frac{2u\sin^{\ }\theta}{g}$
$\therefore\ \ \ \frac{H}{T^{2}} = \frac{u^{2}\sin^{2}{\theta/2g}}{4u^{2}\sin^{2}{\theta/g^{2}}} = \frac{g}{8} = \frac{10}{8} = \frac{5}{4}$
