When attempting to increase the distance traveled by a projectile, what must occur

To increase the distance of a projectile you must increase the power behind the projectile. However you must also change the angle if you are aiming for a specific point. By increasing the power the momentum transfers to the object and the projectile gains more velocity and more distance. Also remember that energy transfers. For more distance you must have more velocity.

Energy or power has to be increased to increase the distance travelled by the projectile.

Explanation:

Projectile motion is defined as when an object is thrown or projected at a particular angle and it reaches the ground after sometime due to acceleration and gravity.

For example, throwing a ball in air. To increase the distance travelled by the object due to projectile motion, one must increase the power at which the object to set.
