Answer:

range and angle of launch

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the horizontal component of velocity be VCosθ = Vx and the vertical component of velocity is VSinθ = Vy.

Here , θ be the angle of projection.

So, if we divide the VSinθ by VCosθ, we get the value of Tanθ, i.e., we get the value of angle of launch.

Now we know that the formula fr the range is given by


R = (V^(2)* Sin2\Theta )/(g)

We can write it as


R = (V^(2)* 2* Sin\Theta * Cos\Theta )/(g)

Again we rewrite as


R = (2* Vx* Vy)/(g)

It shows that the range also depends on the horizontal and vertical component of velocity.
