Answer the following questions for a projectile which is fired across level ground at an initial speed of 59.7m/s .
Part A) Find the horizontal distance where the projectile lands if it is shot at 40? above the horizontal.
Part B) Find the horizontal distance where the projectile lands if it is shot at 50? above the horizontal.
(A)
The mathematical equation for an horizontal range of a oblique projectile is,
Here, is the initial speed of the projectile and is the angle of projection and g is acceleration due to gravity.

(B)
If the angle of projection is ,then the range becomes
