In projectile motion, the total flight time is ______.

  1. A
    equal to the time required to reach the maximum height
  2. B
    thrice the time required to reach the maximum height
  3. C
    four times the time required to reach the maximum height
  4. D
    twice the time required to reach the maximum height

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In ideal projectile motion over a level horizontal surface, the path is symmetrical. The time taken to reach the maximum height () is exactly equal to the time taken to descend back to the ground (). Therefore, the total time of flight (T) is twice the time required to reach the maximum height:
