It is possible to demonstrate that the maximum distance occurs when the angle at which the projectile is fired is 
.
In fact, the laws of motions on both x- and y- directions are
From the second equation, we get the time t at which the projectile hits the ground, by requiring
, and we get:
And inserting this value into Sx(t), we find
And this value is maximum when
, so this is the angle at which the projectile reaches its maximum distance.
So now we can take again the law of motion on the x-axis
And by using
, we find the value of the initial velocity v0:
