An object launched into projectile motion will have an initial launch angle anywhere from 0 to 90 degrees. The range of an object, given the initial launch angle and initial velocity is found with: R=v2isin2θig R = v i 2 sin ⁡ 2 θ i g .

What is angle of launch?

Launch angle The angle of a projectile’s initial velocity when measured from the horizontal direction. These angles are typically 90 ° 90\degree 90° or less.

What is the best angle for launching something?

A projectile, in other words, travels the farthest when it is launched at an angle of 45 degrees.
