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 different angles but with the same initial speed and the same range. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Range Formula**: The range \( R \) of a projectile is given by the formula: \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g} \] where \( u \) is the initial speed, \( \theta \) is the angle of projection, and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. 2. **Condition for Same Range**: Since both particles have the same range \( R \) and are projected with the same speed \( u \), we can denote their angles of projection as \( \theta \) and \( \phi \). The condition for the same range implies: \[ \sin 2\theta = \sin 2\phi \] This means: \[ 2\theta + 2\phi = 180^\circ \quad \text{or} \quad \theta + \phi = 90^\circ \] 3. **Maximum Height Formula**: The maximum height \( h \) reached by a projectile is given by: \[ h = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} \] Therefore, for the two particles, we have: \[ h_1 = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} \quad \text{and} \quad h_2 = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \phi}{2g} \] 4. **Using the Angle Relationship**: Since \( \phi = 90^\circ - \theta \), we can express \( \sin \phi \) in terms of \( \theta \): \[ \sin \phi = \cos \theta \] Thus, we can write: \[ h_1 = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} \quad \text{and} \quad h_2 = \frac{u^2 \cos^2 \theta}{2g} \] 5. **Finding the Product of Heights**: Now, we can find the product of the two heights: \[ h_1 \cdot h_2 = \left(\frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{u^2 \cos^2 \theta}{2g}\right) = \frac{u^4 \sin^2 \theta \cos^2 \theta}{4g^2} \] 6. **Using the Identity for Sine**: We know that: \[ \sin^2 \theta \cos^2 \theta = \frac{1}{4} \sin^2 2\theta \] Therefore, we can substitute this into our equation: \[ h_1 \cdot h_2 = \frac{u^4}{4g^2} \cdot \frac{1}{4} \sin^2 2\theta = \frac{u^4 \sin^2 2\theta}{16g^2} \] 7. **Relating to the Range**: From the range formula, we have: \[ R = \frac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g} \implies R^2 = \frac{u^4 \sin^2 2\theta}{g^2} \] Thus, we can express \( \sin^2 2\theta \) in terms of \( R \): \[ \sin^2 2\theta = \frac{R^2 g^2}{u^4} \] 8. **Final Relationship**: Substituting this back into the height product equation gives: \[ h_1 \cdot h_2 = \frac{u^4}{16g^2} \cdot \frac{R^2 g^2}{u^4} = \frac{R^2}{16} \] Therefore, we arrive at the final relationship: \[ R^2 = 16 h_1 h_2 \] ### Conclusion: The relationship between the range \( R \) and the maximum heights \( h_1 \) and \( h_2 \) is: \[ R^2 = 16 h_1 h_2 \]
