A body is projected with an initial velocity u at angle θ to the horizontal. If Rmax is the maximum range of the projectile, what does the relation u2/Rmax represent?

A. The vertical distance covered
B. Acceleration due to gravity
C. The horizontal distance covered
D. The acceleration of the body

Correct Answer: Option B

B. Acceleration due to gravity

Explanation

Rmax=u2/g
Hence, g=u2/Rmax
