Q. A man can throw a stone to a maximum distance of 80 m. The maximum height to which it will rise in metre, is

A) 30 m
B) 20 m
C) 10 m
D) 40 m
Explanation

(b) $Maximum\ horizontal\ range = 80\ m$
∵ $\theta = 45{^\circ}\ m$
$\therefore\ \ \frac{u^{2}}{g} = 80\ m$
$Maximum\ height,\ h = \frac{u^{2}\sin^{2}\theta}{2g}$
$= \frac{80}{2}\left( \sin^{2}45{^\circ} \right) = 20\ m$
