True, if an object has constant speed that means the object isn’t increasing or decreasing in speed so it could not be accelerating.

A projectile is fired with speed v0 at an angle theta from the horizontal from the horizontal as shown in the figure.

Answer:

v₀ = √(2gH/(sin²θ)) = (sin θ)√(2gH)

v₀ = √(gR/(sin2θ))

Explanation:

An image of the artillery officer, the hill and path of motionof the projectile is attached to this solution.

Given, R, H, g and θ (theta)

Using the equations of motion, we can get the initial velocity v₀

First of, we need to resolve this motion into the vertical and horizontal axis.

The horizontal component of the initial velocity, v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

Vertical component of the initial velocity, v₀ᵧ = v₀ sin θ

When the projectile reaches maximum height, Velocity at max height, vₕ = 0m/s

From equations of motion,

vₕ = v₀ᵧ - gt

0 = v₀ sinθ - gt

t = v₀ sinθ/g

This is the time taken to reach maximum height. The time take to comolete the toyal flight, T = 2t = (2v₀ sinθ)/g

The maximum height to be reached, H can be calculated from the equations of motion too

H = vₕt - 0.5gt² = 0 - 0.5g((v₀ sinθ)/g)²

H = (0.5g v₀² sin²θ)/g²

H = (v₀² sin²θ)/2g

The range, or horizontal distance to be covered by the projectile, R, will be calculated using the horizontal component of the initial Velocity, v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ, this horizontal velocity is constant all through the motion, so, no acceleration in the horizontal direction.

R = v₀ₓT = (v₀ cos θ)((2v₀ sinθ)/g)

R = (v₀²(2cosθsinθ)/g)

2cosθsinθ = sin2θ

R = v₀²(sin2θ)/g

So, writing v₀ in terms of all the other parameters,

v₀ = √(2gH/(sin²θ)) = (sinθ)√(2gH

v₀ = √(gR/(sin2θ))
