A particle P is projected with speed u at an angle α above the horizontal from a point O on a horizontal plane and moves freely under gravity. The horizontal and vertical displacements of P from O at a subsequent time t are denoted by x and y respectively.
(a) Derive the equation of the trajectory of P in the form
y=xtanα−2u2gx2sec2α.
(3)
During its flight, P must clear an obstacle of height h m that is at a horizontal distance of 32 m from the point of projection. When u=402 m s−1, P just clears the obstacle. When u=40 m s−1, P only achieves 80% of the height required to clear the obstacle.
(b) Find the two possible values of h.

题目中文翻译
一个质点 P 从水平面上的点 O 以速率 u、与水平方向成仰角 α 抛出,此后仅在重力作用下自由运动。此后时刻 t,P 相对于 O 的水平位移和竖直位移分别记为 x 和 y。
(a) 推导 P 的轨迹方程,并写成以下形式:
y=xtanα−2u2gx2sec2α.
(3)
在飞行过程中,P 必须越过一个高度为 h m、与抛出点的水平距离为 32 m 的障碍物。当 u=402 m s−1 时,P 恰好越过障碍物。当 u=40 m s−1 时,P 仅达到越过障碍物所需高度的 80%。
(b) 求 h 的两个可能值。
