To solve the problem of finding the angle \( \alpha \) such that the horizontal range and maximum height of a projectile are equal, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the components of the initial velocity When a body is thrown at an angle \( \alpha \) with an initial velocity \( u \): - The horizontal component of the velocity \( u_x = u \cos \alpha \) - The vertical component of the velocity \( u_y = u \sin \alpha \) ### Step 2: Write the formula for horizontal range ...
