Assertion : Generally the path of a proj...

Assertion : Generally the path of a projectile from the earth is parabolic but it is elliptical for projectiles going to very great height.
Reason : Up to ordinary height the projectile moves under a uniform gravitational force, but for great heights, projectile moves under a variable force.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

Assertion: Generally the path of projectile form the earth is parabolic but it is elliptical for projection going to a very large height. Reason: The path of projectile is independent of the gravitational force of earth.

For ordinary heights, the path of a projectile is parabolic but for great heights the path is elliptical. Explain.

Assertion: A projectile that traverses a parabolic path show deviation from its idealised trajectory in the presence of air resistance. Reason: Air resistance affect the motion of the projectile.

Assertion: The height attained by a projectile is twenty five percentage of range, when projected for maximum range. Reason: The height is independent of initial velocity of projetile.

What is a projectile ? Give its examples. How that the path of projectile is a parabolic path when projected horizontally from a certain height.

Assertion: The maximum horizontal range of projectile is proportional to square of velocity. Reason: The maximum horizontal range of projectile is equal to maximum height attained by projectile.

The question given below consist of an assertion and the reason . Use the following key to choose appropriate answer: Assertion : When path of one projectile is observed with respect to another projectile, then it is a straight line .
