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:
\[
R^2 = 16 h_1 h_2
\]
