Which of the following statements about a projectile is not correct?
Projectile motion is a two-dimensional motion.
A projectile is an object launched into the air and allowed to move freely due to gravity.
The range of a projectile is independent of the acceleration due to gravity.
The time of flight dependent of the acceleration due to gravity

Explanation

R = \(\frac{u^2 sin 2\theta}{g}\)

From the above formula, it is evident that range depends on acceleration due to gravity.

For real, the range of a projectile is affected by the acceleration due to gravity; it influences how far the projectile travels horizontally.
