Question
Prove that the maximum horizontal range is four times the maximum height attained by a projectile which is fired along the required oblique direction.
✓

Answer

The required angle of projection for max. horizontal range is 45°. $\text{R}_\text{max}=\frac{\text{u}^2}{\text{g}}$ Max. height, $\text{H}=\frac{\text{u}^2\sin^2\theta}{2\text{g}}$ $=\frac{\text{u}^2\sin^245^\circ}{2\text{g}}=\frac{\text{u}^2}{4\text{g}}$ $\frac{\text{R}_\text{max}}{\text{H}}=\frac{\frac{\text{u}^2}{\text{g}}}{\frac{\text{u}^2}{4\text{g}}}=4$ or $\text{R}_\text{max}=4\text{H}$

A famous relation in physics relates moving mass $m$ to the rest mass $m_0$ of a particle in terms of its speed $v$ and the speed of light, c. (This relation first arose as a consequence of special relativity due to Albert Einstein). A boy recalls the relation almost correctly but forgets where to put the constant c. He writes:
$m=\frac{m_0}{\left(1-v^2\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}$. Guess where to put the missing c ?
