Equations of motion — practice question

A projectile is launched from point $P$ with velocity $V$ at an angle $\theta$ to the horizontal. It reaches point $Q$, which is a horizontal distance $R$ from $P$, after a time $T$. The acceleration of free fall is $g$. Air resistance is negligible. Which equation is correct?

  • A$R = VT\cos\theta$
  • B$R = VT\sin\theta$
  • C$R = VT\cos\theta - \frac{1}{2}gT^2$
  • D$R = VT\sin\theta - \frac{1}{2}gT^2$
