Question

What is the difference between X and range in projectile motion. pls do explain with diagram ​

Answer 1

What is the relation between horizontal range and maximum height of projectile?

Ok nce question; horizontal range is that horizontally measured distance covered by the projectile from the point of projection to it's landing point. This range depends only on where the initial and final positions of the projectile are located. So one can draw two parallel straight vertical lines one passing through the projection point and and the other passing through the landing point, then the distance between these two lines for sure will be similar throughout ( from down upwards) thus will give the horizontal range of the projectile…. Maximum height is that vertical distance that a projectile reaches before it starts falling down and it is measured from a point of projection to the point where the body reverses it direction. Unlike horizontal range, in maximum height one can draw two parallel horizontal straight lines one passing through the projection point and the other passing through the point where the projectile stops moving upwards instead reverses it's direction (we call maximum point) so, the distance between these two lines will give maximum height of the projectile. Remember this, maximum height -how high the body has gone.see the figures below
