Projectile Motion

What is the angle that maximizes the range of the projectile? How are the projectile motion equations used to calculate a projectile’s range? Projectile motion occurs whenever a moving object is under no force except gravity. The equations of motion for each coordinate axis are different—and independent of each other—so you can analyze them separately. Combined, the equations are used to describe the range of a projectile.
