At what angle from a horizontal should a weapon be fired to achieve minimum distance traveled by the projectile?

Do you really mean minimum distance? This would be achieved if the projectile went straight up and down, ie 90 deg from horizontal. Maximum distance would be obtained at 45 deg to horizontal.

Example problem and answer of projectile motion?
-- In what direction should a projectile be launched in order to achieve the maximum range ? -- Toward 45 degrees above the horizontal.
A bomber drops a bomb vertically over the target why it misses the target give scientific reason?
a bomber does not drops its bomb vertically above the target because when the bomb is released its motion becomes projectile motion in which horizontal component remains constant and vertical component changes throughout the motion therefore it does not achieve its target
Is distance time and force velocity quantities?
Distance and time are quantities that define SPEED. Add Direction and you now have a Velocity Vector. Force is not in either definition, but is necessary to achieve a speed or velocity.
What should the mechanical advantage be for optimal throwing distance?
To achieve maximum optimal throwing distance, the maximum velocity of the ball needs to be at the exact moment of release. The best launch range needs to be at approximately 45 degrees for the highest level of travel.
What is the velocity of a 50 cal bullet?
Good question. Like many questions, the answer is, "It depends." It depends on how it is loaded, what powders are used, what bullet weight is used, and when the velocity is measured. For example, sitting in the chamber, the velocity is 0 feet per second. Ha ha. But, let's assume you meant "maximum velocity", which occurs just as the projectile exits the muzzle of the gun. A muzzle loading rifle, using a .50 caliber projectile and black powder, will have relatively slower muzzle velocities than .50 caliber modern cartridges. With modern powders and rifles, at the muzzle, the velocity may be as high as almost 3,000 feet per second. Shooters who load their own cartridges can achieve any velocity in between those extremes. Once the projectile leaves the muzzle, it begins slowing down from air friction until it reaches 0 feet per second again, on impact. Funny, but true.
What angle a projectile thrown to achieve maximum horizontal distance traveled?
A trajectory of 45 degrees elevation gives the longest horizontal travel- (not taking air drag into consideration nor any aerodynamic properties of a projectile.
What angle a projectile thrown to achieve maximum vertically distance traveled?
90

What is the angle for maxium altitude?
A baseball, cannonball, or other projectile launched at a 45° angle above the horizon will achieve maximum horizontal range. A projectile launched straight up will achieve maximum altitude, but you kind of have to watch it and be careful when it returns.
Is the distance of a certain mass when launched by a catapult affeted by potential energy and the angle in the catapult?
To achieve the most distance, you should set your catapult to release a projectile at 45 degrees angle relative to horizontal plane.Higher stored potential energy doesn't neccesarily mean more distance. Distance of the shot depends mainly on starting velocity, which in turn depends on rate at which catapult transfers the energy to the projectile. A limit for that depends on construction of the catapult.
At what angle from horizontal should a weapon be fired to achieve maximum distance traveled by the projectile?
On a flat plane in a vacuum--exactly 45 degrees. Several changes are necessary in the real world. to account for Earth curvature and air resistance and other factors. What this angle is can't be stated without knowing all the variables. One often overlooked factor is that a projectile actually follows an elliptical path, not a parabolic one. Ballistics tables are very complex and were one of the first tasks taken over by computers.

What is every couple out to achieve in a long distance relationship?
For a companion they couldn't achieve in person. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.
What distance is traveled accelerating from 0 mph to 35 mph?
How fast are you accelerating? If I accelerate very slowly, I can travel about 100 miles before reaching 35 mph. On the other hand, a rocket propelled automobile could achieve 35 mph from standstill within ten feet.
Why would a frisbee need to be aerodynamic?
so it can fly in the wind and achieve distance
How to achieve reflex angle in pipe bending?
Rotate the pipe 180 degrees along a horizontal axis. Or look at the pipe from the other side. An angle that was not reflex will become reflex and conversely.
Is distance time and force velocity quantities?
Distance and time are quantities that define SPEED. Add Direction and you now have a Velocity Vector. Force is not in either definition, but is necessary to achieve a speed or velocity.
