Range is the horizontal distance traveled by a projectile from its launch point to the landing point. It depends on the initial velocity and angle of projection.
5 Must Know Facts For Your Next Test
The range equation for a projectile launched on level ground is given by $R = \frac{v_0^2 \sin 2\theta}{g}$, where $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $\theta$ is the launch angle, and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.
Maximum range is achieved when the projectile is launched at a 45-degree angle.
Range does not depend on the mass of the projectile.
Air resistance is typically neglected in basic range calculations.
For non-level ground launches, additional calculations are needed to determine range.
