A ball is thrown at different angles with the same speed `u` and from the same points and it has same range in both the cases. If `y_1 and y_2` be the heights attained in the two cases, then find the value of `y_1 + y_2`.

Options

A. `(u^(2))/(g)`
B. `(2u^(2))/(g)`
C. `(u^(2))/(2g)`
D. `(u^(2))/(4g)`

Answer

C

Explanation

`y_(1)+y_(2) = (u^(2)sin^(2)theta)/(2g) + (u^(2)sin^(2)(90^(@)-theta))/(2g) = (u^(2))/(2g)`
`tan phi = (sin^(2)theta)/(2sin theta cos theta) = (tan theta)/(2)`
