The height and range of a projectile are related mathematically through the equations of motion.
The height of a projectile at any given time can be calculated using the equation:
h(t) = v0*sin(θ)*t - (1/2)*g*t^2
where: - h(t) is the height of the projectile at time t - v0 is the initial velocity of the projectile - θ is the angle of projection - g is the acceleration due to gravity - t is the time elapsed since the projectile was launched
The range of a projectile, which is the horizontal distance it travels before hitting the ground, can be calculated using the equation:
R = v0*cos(θ)*t
where: - R is the range of the projectile - v0 is the initial velocity of the projectile - θ is the angle of projection - t is the time elapsed since the projectile was launched
By combining these two equations, we can see that the height and range of a projectile are related through the initial velocity, angle of projection, and time of flight. The maximum range of a projectile is achieved when the angle of projection is 45 degrees.

The height and range of a projectile are related mathematically by the following equations:
- Height (h): - h = (v^2 - sin^2(theta)) / (2 - g) - Range (R): - R = (v^2 - sin(2 - theta)) / g
where: - v is the initial velocity of the projectile - theta is the angle of projection (measured from the horizontal) - g is the acceleration due to gravity
