The range of a projectile is affected by what?
1 Answer
Suppose, a projectile was projected with an initial velocity of
So,it will go up due to its vertical component of velocity i.e
At the same time it will proceed forwards due to its horizontal component of velocity i.e
So,if it takes time
So,
Now,the projectile will take the same time to come down to the ground,so total time of flight will be
Now,if the projectile goes a distance
So, we can see the range depends on the initial velocity of projection(
