The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that "The path of one projectile as seen from another projectile is a straight line." - When two projectiles are in motion, they both experience the same gravitational acceleration (downward). - If we consider the motion of one projectile relative to the other, we can calculate the relative velocity. - The relative acceleration between the two projectiles is zero since both are affected by the same gravitational force. - Therefore, the motion of one projectile with respect to the other will be uniform, resulting in a straight-line path. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "Two projectiles projected with the same speed at angles α and (90° - α) have the same range." - The formula for the range \( R \) of a projectile is given by: \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \] - For angles α and (90° - α): - When θ = α, \( R_1 = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\alpha)}{g} \) - When θ = (90° - α), \( R_2 = \frac{u^2 \sin(2(90° - \alpha))}{g} = \frac{u^2 \sin(180° - 2\alpha)}{g} = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\alpha)}{g} \) - Thus, both ranges are equal, confirming that the reason is true. ### Step 3: Conclusion - Both the assertion and the reason are true. - However, the reason does not directly explain the assertion. The assertion is about the relative motion of projectiles, while the reason discusses the equality of ranges. ### Final Answer - Assertion: True - Reason: True - The reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.
