A projectile is launched at an angle less than 30° and at speed v.Which will increase the projectile's range more,ignoring atmospheric drag?
A)doubling the launch angle
B)increasing the speed of launch by 50%
C)reducing the mass of the projectile
D)launching on February 29th

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing the speed of launch by 50% will significantly increase the range of the projectile. The range of a projectile is directly proportional to the square of its launch speed when launched at a fixed angle, making speed a critical factor in maximizing range. Choices A, C, and D do not directly influence the range in the same significant manner.
