How does velocity affect range

1 Answer

3 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of a projectile on even ground is:

R = v₀² sin(2θ) / g,

where v₀ is the initial velocity, θ is the angle from the horizontal, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Therefore, the range is directly proportional to the square of the initial velocity. So as the initial velocity increases, range also increases.
