As per your syllabus, launch angles (45° + α) and (45° − α) give which property of their ranges?
AEqual height
BEqual range
CDifferent ranges
DEqual time of flight
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Equal range
syllabus Ex 3.6: sin(90° + 2α) = sin(90° − 2α), so R is identical for complementary angles.
