Homework Statement

Which of the following factors are relevant in determining the range of a projectile that is launched on a very large flat plain? (i.e. no hills or cliffs)
mass of projectile
initial launch speed
acceleration due to gravity on Earth
initial launch angle
volume of projectile

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

1. No, acceleration of gravity is constant, object falls at same speed with no air resistance
2. Yes, initial launch speed is necessary to calculate distance traveled, etc.
3. Yes? it is needed to calculate
4.Yes. different angles allow different ranges, 45 deg is the greatest distance on x
5. No, volume doesn't matter pretty obviousAm I correct? I have one last try

You need to show your working before we can help you.

 

[FAJISTE]

Done. Is it right?

 

[cristo]

It depends. What are your assumptions?
