Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of projectile motion: In kinematics, projectile motion refers to the motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subject to only the acceleration of gravity.
Identify the characteristics of projectile range: The range of a projectile is the horizontal distance it travels during its motion.
Consider the factors affecting the range: The range is affected by the initial velocity and the angle of projection. It is independent of air resistance in ideal conditions.
Clarify the misconception: The range is not related to the maximum height reached by the projectile. The maximum height is a separate characteristic of projectile motion.
Summarize the correct answer: The characteristic that does not describe the range of a projectile is that it is the maximum height reached by the projectile.
