Answer:
Velocity.
Explanation:
Projectile motion is characterized as the motion that an object undergoes when it is thrown into the air and it is only exposed to acceleration due to gravity.
As per the question, 'any change in the initial velocity of the projectile(object having gravity as the only force) would lead to a change in the range as well as the maximum height of the projectile.' To illustrate numerically:
Horizontal range: As per expression:
R= (*sin2θ)/g
the range depending on the square of the initial velocity.
Maximum height: As per expression:
H= ( *
θ
)/2g
the maximum distance also depends upon square of the initial velocity.
