Question

Which formula can be used to calculate the horizontal displacement not of a horizontally launched projectile

Answer 1

If you are looking to get an object up the highest, shoot it straight up. If you want to go for a specific horizontal displacement, use the range equation. R = v2sin(twice the launch angle)/ g. g is the gravitaional constant, 9.8 meters per second. Use degrees for the angle. v is the launch velocity. R is the horizontal displacement. This formula only works if your start altitude and end altitude are the same, i.e. you must shoot over a level field. it depends on the gravitational force of attraction of earth and air resistance. if we are neglecting air resistance, the max.horizontal distance is according to this formulae, V0/2 * sin (2theta) where V0 is the initial velocity theta is the angle with x axis and the projection. There are a number of ways that you could find a horizontally displaced object. You could for example just look.
