What do you need to know to be able to determine how far a projectile travels horizontally?
The horizontal velocity of the projectile (and the air resistance if known) will determine the horizontal distance traveled and the time required.
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.
What is the word for the horizontal distance a projectile travels?
range
What type of motion describes the horizontal component of a projectile?
The type of motion that describes the horizontal component of a projectile is horizontal projectile motion. It is influenced by the downward force of gravity.
In projectile motion What Angle would horizontal and vertical distance be equal?
Can't say. It depends on the release velocity (muzzle velocity).The maximum horizontal distance always results from an angle of 45 degrees, regardless of the release velocity.

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.
Which information is needed to determine the horizontal distance a projectile travels?
-- the initial horizontal speed of the projectile -- the time it remains in flight before it hits the ground
What angle a projectile thrown to achieve maximum vertically distance traveled?
90

range
If you keep the velocity of projection constant and change the angle of projection from 75 to 45 what will happen to the horizontal distance the projectile travels?
The horizontal distance will be doubled.
What is Trajectory?
A trajectory is the angle made with the horizontal when a projectile is fired. Suppose the projectile is a cannon ball. Assuming air is frictionless, that cannon ball will travel the greatest distance if the trajectory is 45 degrees from horizontal.
What type of motion describes the horizontal component of a projectile?
The type of motion that describes the horizontal component of a projectile is horizontal projectile motion. It is influenced by the downward force of gravity.
What angle above the horizontal should a projectile be fired to produce the greatest downrange distance?
its 45 degree
Does a projectile's distance covered decrease when fired at an angle above forty-five degrees?
The optimal angle to fire a projectile if the objective is distance is 45 degrees. It follows that the distance traveled decreases whether the angle is increased or decreased from 45.
What angle for firing projectiles gives longest time?
45 degrees to the horizontal will give the maximum flight time for a projectile. If a projectile was fired at 90 degrees to the horizontal, (straight upwards) the projectile will go straight upwards (ignoring the shape, form and aerodynamic properties of the projectile). Likewise if you were to fire a projectile at 0 degrees to the horizontal, the projectile would follow said course, IF gravity was not in effect; a projectile needs some form of vertical velocity to overcome gravity. Hence why 45 degrees will give you the longest distance and consequently flight time.
