For a projectile launched at a certain speed, an angle of launch that is complementary to the original angle (i.e., the sum of the two angles is 90 degrees) would result in the projectile landing at the same distance. This is due to the symmetrical nature of the projectile's trajectory in a vacuum without air resistance.
The launch angle and initial speed of a projectile are both factors that determine the range and height of the projectile. A higher launch angle with the same initial speed will typically result in a longer range but lower maximum height. Conversely, a lower launch angle with the same initial speed will result in a shorter range but a higher maximum height.
Launch velocity: A higher launch velocity can result in a larger angle of release for a projectile. Launch height: The height from which the projectile is launched can impact the angle of release. Air resistance: Air resistance can affect the trajectory of a projectile and therefore the angle of release. Gravity: The force of gravity influences the path of a projectile, affecting the angle of release. Wind conditions: Wind speed and direction can alter the angle of release needed for a projectile to reach its target.
For the projectile to land at the same distance with the same initial speed, it must be launched at an angle of 15 degrees from the horizontal. This is because the range of a projectile is maximized when launched at a 45-degree angle. So, launching at 15 degrees in the opposite direction of 75 degrees should bring the projectile to the same landing point.
The speed of a catapult is affected by factors like the tension in the catapult's rope or spring, the weight of the projectile being launched, the length of the catapult arm, and the angle at which the projectile is launched. Increasing tension, reducing projectile weight, increasing arm length, and finding the optimal launch angle can all help increase the speed of a catapult.
Factors that determine a projectile's flight include initial velocity, angle of launch, air resistance, and gravity. These factors interact to determine the projectile's trajectory, range, and time of flight. Other factors like wind speed and direction can also affect the projectile's flight path.

The two main factors that affect the range of a simple projectile are the angle and speed of the launch. Both of these can be included in the launch velocity, which is a vector that is usually split up into vertical and horizontal components for processing.There are other factors, like wind resistance (including spin/swing) and changes in gravity, but these are fairly insignificant unless you need high precision or are dealing with projectile motion on a large scale or with objects that aren't dense.
Changing the angle of an object's motion will affect both the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity. For example, if you increase the angle of launch for a projectile, it will have a greater vertical component and a shorter horizontal component. This will result in a change in the overall velocity vector of the object.
In a perfect system, with no air resistance, the arc that a projectile moves through is a parabola. The shape of the parabola is dependent of various parameters including the initial velocity (speed and angle of launch) as well as the prevailing gravity. It could also describe a circle if the launch criteria are just right for the gravity, such as a satellite orbiting the Earth.
The max height depends only on the angle and speed at release. It doesn't depend on the projectile's weight.
Yes. They will both initially be moving at the same speed.
Yes, aerial tumbling can serve as a good example of the projectile principle for accuracy. In aerial tumbling, the object (such as a gymnast or diver) follows a parabolic trajectory while in the air, influenced by gravity and initial launch velocity. Understanding the physics of projectile motion—such as angle of launch, initial speed, and air resistance—can help optimize performance and improve accuracy in landing. Thus, it effectively illustrates the principles of projectile motion in a real-world context.
Factors include the angle at which it is fired, the speed of the projectile, its shape (ballistic coefficient) the air pressure and humidity.
