- Let's say the launch speed is constant, but you can adjust the launch angle, and again we will deal with the special case where the landing point is at the same vertical level as the launch point. In this case, which launch angle will produce the maximum range? 45 degrees, angle less than 45 degrees, angle greater than 45 degrees, or does it depend?arrow_forwardA cannonball is fired from a gun with a muzzle velocity of 80 m/s at an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal.What is the range of the cannonball?arrow_forwardA projectile is fired over horizontal ground from the origin with an initial speed of 60 m/s. What firing angles will produce a range of 300 m? Angles of degrees will produce of range of 300 m. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to two decimal places as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)arrow_forward
