Concept explainers
Range of a Projectile If a projectile is fired with velocity v0 at an angle θ, then its range, the horizontal distance it travels (in ft), is modeled by the function
(See page 627.) If v0 = 2200 ft/s, what angle (in degrees) should be chosen for the projectile to hit a target on the ground 5000 ft away?
