The correct answer is: R+H,H

T=2Uyg

H=Uy22g

Here maximum height will be same as H because there is no acceleration change in vertical direction.

and R=Ux×T

When a horizontal acceleration is also given to the projectile Uy,T and H will remain unchanged while range will become

R'=Ux×T+12aT2

=R+12g44Uy2g2=R+H  a=g4

Therefore horizontal range & maximum height will be R+H & H.
