Cricketer’s Ball Throw: Calculating Maximum Height
Question: A cricketer can throw a ball to a maximum horizontal distance of 100 m. How much high above the ground can the cricketer throw the same ball? Solution:Calculating the maximum height of the ball Projectile motion: Maximum horizontal distance(Range): Maximum range is attained when the ball is projected at an angle of 45o with…

Projectile Motion: Angle for Equal Height and Range
Question What is the value of angle of projection for which the height of the projectile (H) and the range (R)of the projectile are the same? Solution: Height and range Maximum height of the projectile (H) Height of the projectile (H) $${H=\frac{u^2 \sin^2\theta}{2g}}$$ Range of the projectile $${R=\frac{u^2\sin 2 \theta}{g}}$$ $${H=R}$$ $${\frac{u^2\sin^2\theta}{2g}=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta}{g}}$$ $${\frac{\sin^2\theta}{2}=2\sin\theta\cos\theta}$$ $${\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}=4}$$…
