A projectile has a range of 50 m and reaches a maximum height of 10 m.

Calculate the
angle at which the projectile is fired?

answer: θ=38.66❑∘

Here R=50 m, H=10 m ,

The equation for Horizontal range is given by,


u❑2 ×sin(2 θ)
R= ….(1)
g

Equation for maximum height is given by,


u❑2 × sin❑2 (θ)
H= ….(2)
2g

Dividing (2) by (1),
