Calculating Projectile Trajectory Without Air Resistance

[stamter3]

Greetings,

Before I begin my problem, I would like to confess that I understand almost nothing about physics. My math is limited to what I am doing in class right now as a ninth grader ( I understand quadratics...). I am doing a research project, and I need some help.

Homework Statement

What I am looking for is the trajectory formula when firing a cannon with no air resistance. For example, If I fired a cannon on level ground, and fire a round at 1440 ft/s, where will my round land if it does not encounter any obstacles.

Homework Equations

Please show me a formula I can use for this, and where i plug in the numbers.

Thanks in advance.

I guess in projects you don't really need to derive equations, but check http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/traj.html#tra4" for all the things to with parabolic motion. What you want is the range.

Thanks its perfect!
