Pls dis answer is wrong,d angle for maximum range is 45° but for maximum height it is 90°

The answer is option E not B. A projectile attain maximum height when the angle of projection is 90. Because Max height = U^2sin^2tita/2g

Sin 90° is 1. But when the angle is 45°, sin 45°= 0. 707. When you squared it, the answer is 0.5. So definitely the correct answer is 90°

The answer is E which is 90° not 45°
45° is for maximum range

It is clear you all are confused first off
maximum height is the highest vertical distance attained by a projectile when set in motion and the Range is the vertical distance covered by the projectile from the point of projection to where the projectile hits it's projection plane
Note: The question is clearly asking for the angle at which the maximum height attained is greatest not the range and the answer is 90

H = (Usin∅)²/2g
Sin ∅ is maximum when ∅ = 90⁰
Hence H is maximum when ∅ is 90⁰

A a launched projectile reaches its maximum height at 90 degrees not 45 degrees because at 90 degrees, the initial velocity of the projectile has no horizontal component. However, it covers a maximum range at 45 degrees

the answer is 90⁰ for maximum height

the answer showing is 90 but the correct answer ought to be 45. Kindly fix this discrepiancy

Whoever asked this question is an amateur in science. A complete joker.

There is no such thing as having a particular angle to attain maximum height. Each angle of projection has its own maximum height.

What can be asked in this context:
- Angle of inclination where max height occurs
- Angle of projection for maximum Range
- "Which of these angles" produce the greatest max height ? etc
