JEE Main 3 April 2025, Shift 2, Physics Q27

Question 27 of 75 in this shift, Physics question 2 of 25, Section A.

A particle is projected with velocity

u

so that its horizontal range is three times the maximum height attained by it. The horizontal range of the projectile is given as

\frac{nu^2}{25g}

, where value of

n

is: (Given, 'g' is the acceleration due to gravity.)
