The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided in the question. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion (A) The assertion states that "the horizontal range of a projectile is always the same for an angle of projection θ with the horizontal or θ with the vertical." **Analysis**: - When a projectile is launched at an angle θ with the horizontal, the horizontal range (R) can be calculated using the formula: \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \] where \( u \) is the initial velocity and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. - If the projectile is launched at an angle θ with the vertical, the angle with the horizontal becomes \( 90^\circ - \theta \). The range can be calculated as: \[ R' = \frac{u^2 \sin(2(90^\circ - \theta))}{g} = \frac{u^2 \sin(180^\circ - 2\theta)}{g} = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \] - Therefore, the horizontal range is the same for both angles of projection, which makes the assertion true. ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason (R) The reason states that "the horizontal range depends only on the angle of projection." **Analysis**: - The horizontal range does depend on the angle of projection, but it also depends on the initial velocity of the projectile. The formula for range shows that both the angle and the initial velocity are factors: \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \] - Since the range depends on both the angle of projection and the initial velocity, the reason is false. ### Conclusion - The assertion (A) is **true**: the horizontal range is the same for angles θ with horizontal and vertical. - The reason (R) is **false**: the range depends on both the angle of projection and the initial velocity. ### Final Answer Both assertion and reason are not true together, so the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ---
