. Where x and y are measured in meter. The maximum height attained by the projectile will be.
A
200m
B
10m
C
5m
D
10 
m
m
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The trajectory of a projectile is parabolic in nature. At maximum height, it can be written that
….
Substitute the expression for trajectory into equation and solve to calculate the horizontal distance, for which the projectile attains the maximum height.
Substitute the value of x in the given expression for the trajectory to obtain the maximum height.
= 5 m
