Two particles are projected from the same point with the same speed $$u$$ such that they have the same range $$R$$, but different maximum heights, $$h_1$$ and $$h_2$$. Which of the following is correct?

A$$R^2 = 2h_2h_2$$
B$$R^2 = 16h_1h_2$$
Correct Answer
C$$R^2 = 4h_1h_2$$
D$$R^2 = h_1h_2$$

Solution

For same range angle of projection will be $$\theta \& 90 - \theta$$

$$R = \dfrac{u^2 2\sin \theta \cos \theta}{g}$$

$$h_1 = \dfrac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{g}$$

$$h_2 = \dfrac{u^2 \sin^2 (90 - \theta)}{g}$$

$$\dfrac{R^2}{h_1h_2} = 16$$
