A projectile is fired from the ground level with a velocity of 300ms-1 at an angle of a 30o to the horizontal.
Calculate the time taken to reach the maximum height?
[g = 10ms-2]

A.

30s

B.

20s

C.

25s

D.

15s

Correct answer is D

The total time of flight is given as

T=2usinθg

Hence, time to maximum height is half of the total time of flight, 

t = usinθg

= 300sin3010 = 15s
