If the initial velocity of a projectile ...

If the initial velocity of a projectile be doubled, keeping the angle of projection same, the maximum height reached by it will

A

remain the same

B

be doubled

C

become four times

D

be halved

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`H = (u^(2) sin^(2) theta)/(2g) rArr H prop u^(2)`
If intial velocity be doubled, then maximum height reached by the projectile will become four times
