The motion of a projectile may be described in terms of range and the maximum height it reaches. But what affects these kinematic quantities? Below is a figure of the height and range covered by a projectile launched bat the same initial velocity but at different angles.   Questions:   1.  How do you describe the range covered by the projectile at different projection angles? 2. At what angle/s does it reach the farthest? the nearest? 3. Whatr angles cover the same range? what do you call these angles?
