The range of a projectile at an angle θ is equal to half of the maximum range if thrown at the same speed. The angle of projection θ is given by :
for a projectile thrown up an incline plane (making an angle θ withhoriontal), maximum range on the inclinecan be achieved by projecting at an angle .. from the horizontal ( θ is acute).
A projectile thrown with an initial speed u and angle of projection 15∘ to the horizontal has a range R. If the same projectile is thrown at an angle of 45∘ to the horizontal with speed 2u, its range will be
