12 A particle is projected from the origin with speed V m/s at an angle a to the
yA
horizontal.
a Assuming that the coordinates of the particle at time t are
(Vt cos a, Vt sin a – ¿gt2), prove that the horizontal range R of the particle
v² sin 2a
is
X2
6.
b Hence prove that the path of the particle has equation y = x
X
tan a.

c Suppose that a = 45° and that the particle passes through two points 6
metres apart and 4 metres above the point of projection, as shown in the diagram. Let x, and x2 be the
x-coordinates of the two points.
i Show that
