The correct Answer is:
To determine which projectile has the maximum range, we can use the formula for the range of a projectile, which is given by: \[ R = \frac{v^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \] where: - \( R \) is the range, - \( v \) is the initial velocity, - \( \theta \) is the angle of projection, - \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. Since all projectiles are projected with the same speed, we can focus on maximizing \( \sin(2\theta) \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate \( \sin(2\theta) \) for each angle:** - For \( \theta = 20^\circ \): \[ \sin(2 \times 20^\circ) = \sin(40^\circ) \] - For \( \theta = 35^\circ \): \[ \sin(2 \times 35^\circ) = \sin(70^\circ) \] - For \( \theta = 60^\circ \): \[ \sin(2 \times 60^\circ) = \sin(120^\circ) \] - For \( \theta = 75^\circ \): \[ \sin(2 \times 75^\circ) = \sin(150^\circ) \] 2. **Find the values of \( \sin(40^\circ) \), \( \sin(70^\circ) \), \( \sin(120^\circ) \), and \( \sin(150^\circ) \):** - \( \sin(40^\circ) \approx 0.6428 \) - \( \sin(70^\circ) \approx 0.9397 \) - \( \sin(120^\circ) = \sin(180^\circ - 60^\circ) = \sin(60^\circ) \approx 0.8660 \) - \( \sin(150^\circ) = \sin(180^\circ - 30^\circ) = \sin(30^\circ) = 0.5 \) 3. **Compare the values of \( \sin(2\theta) \):** - \( \sin(40^\circ) \approx 0.6428 \) - \( \sin(70^\circ) \approx 0.9397 \) (maximum) - \( \sin(120^\circ) \approx 0.8660 \) - \( \sin(150^\circ) = 0.5 \) 4. **Conclusion:** The maximum value of \( \sin(2\theta) \) occurs at \( \theta = 35^\circ \) with \( \sin(70^\circ) \approx 0.9397 \). Therefore, the projectile with the angle of projection \( 35^\circ \) will have the maximum range. ### Final Answer: The range will be maximum for the projectile whose angle of projection is \( 35^\circ \).
