A projectile is launched with an initial speed of 22 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. Neglecting air resistance, what is its horizontal range? (g = 9.81 m/s2)

  1. 24.67
  2. 1.94
  3. 85.45
  4. 42.73

Answer

D. 42.73

Solution

Range R = (v02 (2 )) / g = (222 × (60°)) / 9.81 = 42.73 m.
