the ratio of their maximum height =
Explanation:
As the two bodies are being projected with velocity u
at angle
and
their velocity component in vertical direction will be
At the maximum height the final velocity (v) in vertical
direction will be zero for both bodies.
Therefore
using the relation between u, v and
the distance traversed h one can write -
in which v=0 ; We get
for first body height will be
and for the second body
so
