| It is easy to determine the trajectory of a projectile subject to gravity if you neglect air resistance. using elementary physics and calculus, you can show that a projectile will travel farthest across a flat surface if you shoot it at an angle $\theta = \pi/4$ above the horizontal. In this problem you will determine the optimal angle and the maximum range of a projectile subject to air resistance. Use the following equations of motion, developed during class | It is easy to determine the trajectory of a projectile subject to gravity if you neglect air resistance. using elementary physics and calculus, you can show that a projectile will travel farthest across a flat surface if you shoot it at an angle $\theta = \pi/4$ above the horizontal.
