Keep u fixed and change only the angle. Thirty and sixty degrees have the same range because they are complementary, but their heights and flight times differ. Fifteen and seventy-five degrees do the same. The maximum range occurs at 45 degrees, because sin 2θ becomes sin 90 degrees, or one. This result requires equal launch and landing heights. Now take u equals 20 metres per second, θ equals 45 degrees, and g equals 10. The ideal shot gives R equals 40 metres, H equals 10 metres, and T approximately 2.83 seconds. So remember: horizontal velocity is constant, vertical velocity is ruled by gravity, the path is parabolic, and the formulas apply under their stated conditions. That six was not just a cricket highlight. Split the velocity, let gravity act, and the entire flight becomes predictable.
