launching projectile from north pole to equator

[greaser]

I am trying to find what velocity and angle of launch is required for a projectile to be fired from the North pole and land somewhere on the equator. I was thinking 45 degrees with muzzle velocity 9401m/s but that sounds ridiculous. Also how much time would it be in the air for?

Are you neglecting air friction?

This isn't a simple plug and chug. That path will be sub-orbital.

9.5 km/sec is high, but you're in the right ballpark.
