Maximum horizontal distance, $R=100 \,m$ The cricketer will only be able to throw the ball to the maximum horizontal distance when the angle of projection is $45^{\circ},$ i.e., $\theta=45^{\circ}$ The horizontal range for a projection velocity $v$, is given by the relation
$R=\frac{u^{2} \sin 2 \theta}{g}$
$100=\frac{u^{2}}{g} \sin 90^{\circ}$
$\frac{u^{2}}{g}=100$
The ball will achieve the maximum height when it is throwertically upward. For such motion, the final velocity $v$ is zero at the maximum height $H$ Acceleration, $a=-g$
Using the third equation of motion
$v^{2}-u^{2}=-2 g H$
$H=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{u^{2}}{g}=\frac{1}{2} \times 100=50 \,m$

Two particles in same vertical plane are thrown to strike at same time. One from ground and other from height $h$ vertically above it. Ground particle is thrown obliquly and it achives a maximum height $H$. The second particle is thrown horizontally with same speed. What can be maximum $h$ so that two particles strike in air.

An object is projected with a velocity of $20 m/s$ making an angle of $45^o$ with horizontal. The equation for the trajectory is $h = Ax -Bx^2$ where $h$ is height, $x$ is horizontal distance, $A$ and $B$ are constants. The ratio $A : B$ is ($g = 10 ms^{-2}$)
