since R is max, so angle =pi/4

 

and so, u^2/g=5000

 

calculate u,

 

(a)Total time of flight =2usin 45 /g

     but here, half time gone, so time of warning =u sin 45/g

(b)also, height is max at mid pt, where velocity=ucos 45

(c)i hope u can calculate max height by formula...

(d)does it need to b solved nw?
