Given information
Time required for a projectile to reach its heighest point is equal to the time for it to return to its original height .
Step-by-step explanation
Lt the highest point is and the time required to reach the maximum height is . Let the projectile was projected from the ground. So initial height from the ground will be zero.
Let the projectile makes an angle with the horizontal .And let the initial velocity of the projectile is .
Thus the vertical component of velocity will be .
At the highest point the vertical component of velocity will be zero and there is only horizontal component of velocity.
So considering vertical motion and applying equation of motion , Here and are final and initial velocities respectively in the vertical direction . is acceleration due to gravity and is time.
Substituting the value
