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

\(R_{max} = \frac{u^{2}}{g}\)
Hence, \(g = \frac{u^{2}}{R_{max}}\)
