Which of the following changes would increase the range of the ball shown in the original figure? Check all that apply.
(a) Increase v0 above 30 m/s.
(b) Reduce v0 below 30 m/s.
(c) Reduce θ from 60 degrees to 45 degrees.
(d) Reduce θ from 60 degrees to less than 30 degrees.
(e) Increase θ from 60 degrees up toward 90 degrees.
Projectile Motion:
The motion of a launched object under the influence of gravity is known as projectile motion, and the object thrown is called projectile. The range of the particle depends on the firing speed and launch angle of the particle.
