apart from gravity. The initial velocity If the projectile is launched with an initial velocity v0‚ then it can be written as \mathbf{v}_0 = v_{0x}\mathbf{i} + v_{0y}\mathbf{j}. The components v0x and v0y can be found if the angle‚ ϴ is known: v_{0x} = vgh_0\cos\theta‚ v_{0y} = v_0\sin\theta. If the projectile’s range‚ launch angle‚ and drop height are known‚ launch velocity can be found by V_0 = \sqrt{{R^2 g} \over {R \sin 2\theta + 2h \cos^2\theta}} . The launch angle is usually
