If a projectile is fired at an angle `theta` with the vertical with velocity u, then maximum height attained is given by:-

A

`(u^(2)cos theta)/(2g)`

B

`(u^(2)sin^(2)theta)/(2g)`

C

`(u^(2)sin^(@)theta)/(g)`

D

`(u^(2)cos^(2)theta)/(2g)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`H=(u_(y)^(2))/(2g)=(u^(2)cos^(2)theta)/(2g)`
