What is the effect on range and maximum height of a projectile as the launch height, speed, and launch angle are increased?

Solutions

Expert Solution

1) Increasing the launch height increases the downward distance, giving the horizontal component of the velocity greater time to act upon the projectile and hence increasing the range.

2) A projectile is launched from a very high tower to avoid air resistance. With increasing initial speed, the range increases and becomes longer than it would be on level ground because the Earth curves away underneath its path.

3) The maximum range occurs for a launch angle of 45°. ... This highest point increases as the angle increases.

4) Higher launch angles have higher maximum height
The maximum height is determined by the initial vertical velocity. Since steeper launch angles have a larger vertical velocity component, increasing the launch angle increases the maximum height.

5) if launch height increases then there will be no effect on the maximum height. and if we measure from the ground level then total height will be increased because we have increased the launch height.

6) if launch speed is increased then maximum height will be increased.
