A body is projected with an initial velocity u at angle \(\theta\) to the horizontal. If \(R_{max}\) is the maximum range of the projectile, what does the relation \(\frac{u^{2}}{R_{max}}\) represent?
The vertical distance covered
Acceleration due to gravity
The horizontal distance covered
The acceleration of the body

The relation
u²/ Rmax
represents the horizontal distance covered by the projectile.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
C. The horizontal distance covered
and recall that That for a projectile in motion the range is given as:
Horizontal Range, R = U² sin2∅/g
also note that when we are talking about maximum range in projectiles either from one point to another then we are also talking about maximum distance and not just any distance rather the Horizontal distance because in all formula in project motion ∅ is defined as the angle of projection to the HORIZONTAL
