Question : If R is the horizontal range for θ inclination and h is the maximum height reached by the particle, show that the maximum range is given by [R²/8h]+2h
Doubt by Shruti
Solution :
We know
R=u²sin2θ/g
h=u²sin²θ/2g
Rmax (Maximum Range) = u²/g
To Prove :
Rmax=[R²/8h]+2h
Proof :
RHS
[R²/8h]+2h
We know
R=u²sin2θ/g
h=u²sin²θ/2g
Rmax (Maximum Range) = u²/g
To Prove :
Rmax=[R²/8h]+2h
Proof :
RHS
[R²/8h]+2h



Substituting sin2θ=2sinθcosθ

= Rmax
= LHSLHS=RHS
Hence Proved.
