PMDC Verified Question 114 of 137
The range of the projectile depends upon the velocity of the projection and the angle of the projection i.e \( 45^\circ \). For a fixed velocity, when the angle of projection is larger than \( 45^\circ \). Which of the following is correct?
A
Both the height and the range attained by the projectile will be less
B
The height attained by the projectile will be less but the range is more
C
Both the height and the range attained by the projectile will be more
D
The height attained by the projectile will be more but the range is less

Official Correct Choice:
Option D: The height attained by the projectile will be more but the range is less
Concept:

Steeper angles increase vertical velocity but decrease efficiency of horizontal range past \( 45^\circ \).

Solution:

  • Height increases, Range decreases.


Why other options are incorrect:

Trigonometric fact of \( \sin^2\theta \) vs \( \sin(2\theta) \).

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
