The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to establish the relationship between the range \( R \) and the maximum heights \( h_1 \) and \( h_2 \) of two particles projected at the same speed but at different angles. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Range Formula**: The range \( R \) for a projectile launched at an angle \( \theta \) with initial speed \( u \) is given by: \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \] Since the two particles have the same range, we can denote their range as \( R \). 2. **Using the Sine Double Angle Identity**: We know that \( \sin(2\theta) = 2 \sin(\theta) \cos(\theta) \). Therefore, we can rewrite the range as: \[ R = \frac{2u^2 \sin(\theta) \cos(\theta)}{g} \] 3. **Finding Maximum Height**: The maximum height \( h \) for a projectile launched at angle \( \theta \) is given by: \[ h = \frac{u^2 \sin^2(\theta)}{2g} \] For the first particle, the maximum height is \( h_1 \): \[ h_1 = \frac{u^2 \sin^2(\theta)}{2g} \] For the second particle, launched at angle \( 90^\circ - \theta \), the maximum height \( h_2 \) is: \[ h_2 = \frac{u^2 \sin^2(90^\circ - \theta)}{2g} = \frac{u^2 \cos^2(\theta)}{2g} \] 4. **Relating Range and Heights**: Since both particles have the same range, we can express \( R \) in terms of \( h_1 \) and \( h_2 \): \[ R = \frac{2u^2 \sin(\theta) \cos(\theta)}{g} \] Now substituting \( \sin(\theta) \) and \( \cos(\theta) \) in terms of \( h_1 \) and \( h_2 \): \[ R^2 = \left(\frac{2u^2 \sin(\theta) \cos(\theta)}{g}\right)^2 \] Expanding this gives: \[ R^2 = \frac{4u^4 \sin^2(\theta) \cos^2(\theta)}{g^2} \] 5. **Substituting Heights**: From the height equations: \[ h_1 = \frac{u^2 \sin^2(\theta)}{2g} \quad \text{and} \quad h_2 = \frac{u^2 \cos^2(\theta)}{2g} \] We can express \( \sin^2(\theta) \) and \( \cos^2(\theta) \) in terms of \( h_1 \) and \( h_2 \): \[ \sin^2(\theta) = \frac{2gh_1}{u^2} \quad \text{and} \quad \cos^2(\theta) = \frac{2gh_2}{u^2} \] 6. **Final Relation**: Substituting these into the equation for \( R^2 \): \[ R^2 = \frac{4u^4 \cdot \frac{2gh_1}{u^2} \cdot \frac{2gh_2}{u^2}}{g^2} \] Simplifying gives: \[ R^2 = \frac{16g^2h_1h_2}{u^4} \] Rearranging yields: \[ R^2 = 16h_1h_2 \] Thus, the relation between \( R \), \( h_1 \), and \( h_2 \) is: \[ R^2 = 16h_1h_2 \] ### Final Answer: The relation between \( R \), \( h_1 \), and \( h_2 \) is: \[ R^2 = 16h_1h_2 \]
