A projectile is launched over a horizontal surface in such a manner that its maximum height is 1/2 of its horizontal range. Determine the launch angle

A snowball is thrown from ground level (by someone in a hole) with initial speed v0 at an angle of 45° relative to the (level) ground, on which the snowball later lands. If the launch angle is increased, do (a) the range and (b) the flight time increase, decrease, or stay the same?

An archer aims at a target. Suppose the archer’s arrow is 1.2m above the ground, the bull’s eye is 43m away and at aheight of 1.8m, and she can shoot the arrow at an initial speed of 28m/s. It is a calm day with nowind so you ignore air resistance. At what angle should she aim her arrow to hit the bull’s eye?
