A stone, Q is thrown with velocity U at an angle of 75o to the horizontal. Another stone R is thrown with the same velocity U but with an angle of 15o to the horizontal. The ranges covered by the stones will be

A.

greater for Q

B.

greater for R

C.

the same for Q and R

D.

greater for the heavier of the two stones

Correct answer is C

Range = U2sin2θg

RangeQ = U2sin150g

RangeR = U2sin30g

Since, sin30o = sin150o

therefore, RQ = RR
