You have two projectiles that you want to launch from a launching site. One projectile has a mass, m. The other projectile has twice the mass, 2.m. If you want the two projectiles to land at the same target when they are launched from the same site, what parameters do you need to adjust/change to make sure that both projectiles land at the same target? Ignore all drag and frictional forces. Assume that both projectiles are identical, except for their masses. The parameters that you can adjust/change are initial velocity and launch angle above horizontal.

Really struggling with this concept.

Please explain so I can better understand !

Thank you so much

**Projectile Motion Problem** You have two projectiles that you want to launch from a launching site. One projectile has a mass, m. The other projectile has twice the mass, 2·m. If you want the two projectiles to land at the same target when they are launched from the same site, what parameters do you need to adjust/change to make sure that both projectiles land at the same target? Ignore all drag and frictional forces. Assume that both projectiles are identical, except for their masses. The parameters that you can adjust/change are initial velocity and launch angle above horizontal. Clearly, explain your answer.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that,

the mass of one projectile is m1=m

the mass of the other projectile is m2=2m

 

For the mass m projectile

let the initial velocity of the projectile is u1

And the angle of projection is θ1

 

Then the range of the projectile will be

R1=u12sin22θ1g
