-- In what direction should a projectile be launched in order to achieve the maximum range ? -- Toward 45 degrees above the horizontal.
scalene
The horizontal component of a projectile's velocity doesn't change, until the projectile hits somethingor falls to the ground.The vertical component of a projectile's velocity becomes [9.8 meters per second downward] greatereach second. At the maximum height of its trajectory, the projectile's velocity is zero. That's the pointwhere the velocity transitions from upward to downward.
Gravity
The value of the vertical speed at the highest point of the projectile's trajectory is the lowest speed at the maximum height reached.
The range of projectile is maximum when the angle of projection is 45 Degrees.
The half maximum range of a projectile is launched at an angle of 15 degree
Ignoring the effects of wind and air-resistance in general, maximum projectile range results when the projectile is launched/fired in a direction 45 degrees above the horizontal.
Are you asking about the maximum effective range or the maximum range that a 22 short projectile can travel?
At 45° angle.
velocity
Suppose a projectile is fired from a gun, we know that "g" remains constant and as we use horizontal component of velocity in range sov0 also remains constant. Only sin2θ responsible for change in range. The range will be maximum if sin2θ has its maximum value that is 1.for maximum range:sin2θ = 12θ = sin-1 (1)θ = 90/2θ = 45 (degree)therefor if projectile is projected with the angle of 45(degree) its range will be maximum.
velocity
Are you asking what is the maximum range a 44 magnum projectile will go when fired?
45 degrees.
-- In what direction should a projectile be launched in order to achieve the maximum range ? -- Toward 45 degrees above the horizontal.
Speed, weight, and shape of the projectile- along with the angle at which the barrel is raised above the horizonatal.
