Problem

Two stones are projected with the same initial speed 20 m s−120\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}, one at an angle of 30∘30^\circ and the other at 45∘45^\circ to the horizontal. (i) Calculate the ratio of their horizontal ranges R30:R45R_{30}:R_{45}. (ii) Calculate the ratio of their maximum heights H30:H45H_{30}:H_{45}.
