Question

A projectile is fired with speed 200 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. Neglect air resistance. What is the maximum height reached?
Options
A 10 m
B 500 m
Correct Answer
C 1000 m
D 1500 m
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Vertical speed = 200 sin30° = 100 m/s. H = u²/(2g) = 100²/(2×10) = 500 m.

Hint

Use H = u_y² / (2g).
