The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to derive the relationship between the range and the maximum height of a projectile. We are given that the range (R) is double the maximum height (H) attained by the projectile. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the equations for range and maximum height**: - The formula for the range \( R \) of a projectile is given by: \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g} \] - The formula for the maximum height \( H \) attained by the projectile is: \[ H = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} \] 2. **Set up the relationship between range and maximum height**: - According to the problem, the range is double the maximum height: \[ R = 2H \] 3. **Substitute the formulas into the relationship**: - Substitute the expressions for \( R \) and \( H \): \[ \frac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g} = 2 \left( \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} \right) \] 4. **Simplify the equation**: - The \( g \) cancels out from both sides, and we can simplify: \[ u^2 \sin 2\theta = u^2 \sin^2 \theta \] - Dividing both sides by \( u^2 \) (assuming \( u \neq 0 \)): \[ \sin 2\theta = \sin^2 \theta \] 5. **Use the identity for sine**: - Recall that \( \sin 2\theta = 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta \): \[ 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta = \sin^2 \theta \] 6. **Rearranging the equation**: - Rearranging gives: \[ \sin^2 \theta - 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta = 0 \] - Factor out \( \sin \theta \): \[ \sin \theta (\sin \theta - 2 \cos \theta) = 0 \] 7. **Find the solutions**: - The solutions are: - \( \sin \theta = 0 \) (not valid for projectile motion) - \( \sin \theta - 2 \cos \theta = 0 \) or \( \sin \theta = 2 \cos \theta \) 8. **Using the tangent function**: - Dividing by \( \cos \theta \): \[ \tan \theta = 2 \] 9. **Find the range using the angle**: - Using \( \tan \theta = 2 \), we can find \( \sin \theta \) and \( \cos \theta \): \[ \sin \theta = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}, \quad \cos \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \] - Substitute back into the range formula: \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g} = \frac{u^2 (2 \sin \theta \cos \theta)}{g} = \frac{u^2 \cdot 2 \cdot \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}}{g} = \frac{u^2 \cdot \frac{4}{5}}{g} \] - Therefore, the range \( R \) is: \[ R = \frac{4u^2}{5g} \] ### Final Answer: The range of the projectile is: \[ R = \frac{4u^2}{5g} \]
