The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Understand the Assertion (A)** - The assertion states that the horizontal range of a projectile is the same when projected at an angle θ with the horizontal and at an angle θ with the vertical. **Step 2: Recall the Formula for Horizontal Range** - The formula for the horizontal range \( R \) of a projectile launched at an angle \( \theta \) with the horizontal is given by: \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \] where \( u \) is the initial velocity and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. **Step 3: Analyze the Case of Projection at Angle θ with Horizontal** - If the angle of projection is \( \theta \) with respect to the horizontal, the range can be calculated as: \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \] **Step 4: Analyze the Case of Projection at Angle θ with Vertical** - If the angle of projection is \( \theta \) with respect to the vertical, then the angle with respect to the horizontal will be \( 90^\circ - \theta \). - The range in this case will be: \[ R' = \frac{u^2 \sin(2(90^\circ - \theta))}{g} = \frac{u^2 \sin(180^\circ - 2\theta)}{g} = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \] - Thus, \( R' = R \) when the initial velocity \( u \) is the same. **Step 5: Conclusion about the Assertion** - The assertion is true only if the initial velocity \( u \) is the same for both cases. However, it does not hold universally since the initial velocity can vary. Therefore, the assertion is **false**. **Step 6: Understand the Reason (R)** - The reason states that the horizontal range depends only on the angle of projection. - From our analysis, we can see that the horizontal range actually depends on both the angle of projection and the initial velocity \( u \). **Step 7: Conclusion about the Reason** - Since the range depends on both the angle and the initial velocity, the reason is also **false**. ### Final Conclusion Both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are false. ### Answer: The correct option is that both the assertion and reason are false statements. ---
