The term Maximum Effective Range is used to distinguish between Maximum Range (how far a bullet will travel) and the greatestusable range. Maximum Effective range is defined as the greatest distance at which a weapon may be expected to fire accurately to inflict casualties or damage. While cartridges have an approximate range, the true effective range is determined by both the cartridge, and the weapon that fires it. The two most common firearms in 7.62x39 are the SKS Carbine, and the AK-47. While both fire the same cartridge, the SKS has a barrel that is about 6 inches longer, Thus the SKS will have a longer max. range, and a longer max effective range- about 400 meters.
The [horizontal] range of a projectile is maximised when it shoots at a 45 degree angle. This is true if air resistance is ignored so that the only force acting on the projectile is gravity.
false....just by velocity the projection cannot be maximum.....for maximum projection the angle at which the projection is made and location would play a big role....ie..if two rockets are fired one from equator and one from pole with same velocity and same angle....the rocket fired from pole will have maximum projectile as it has to pass through less atmosphere hence less resistant....

Yes.
the fuzes can be activated by any type of movement
Yes, in the absence of air resistance, a projectile launched into space at any angle will have a constant horizontal velocity. This is because there are no horizontal forces acting on the projectile once it is launched.
True. Projectile motion describes the curved path an object follows when thrown or projected near the Earth's surface, under the influence of gravity, while also moving horizontally.
false

A projectile will travel on a straight line unless external forces act upon it. Gravity will pull the projectile downward, i.e. affect its vertical velocity component. This is why the projectile will decelerate upwards, reach a maximum elevation, and accelerate back down to earth. The force vector of air resistance points in the opposite direction of motion, slowing the projectile down. For example, If the projectile is going forward and up, air resistance is pushing it backwards (horizontal component) and down (vertical component). Without air resistance, there is no external force acting upon the horizontal velocity component and the projectiles ground speed will stay constant as it gains altitude and falls back down to earth.
