Question

Find the angle for which a projectile fired from a height h with velicity u at an angle theta will have max. range

Answer 1

0 of course ... to have max range you need to have max horizontal component ... vertical component to initial velocity will only make fall faster

Answer 2

0 is wrong. Give me a minute to elaborate.

Answer 3

what do you mean ... when fired from HEIGHT???

Answer 4

It is fired for a height h upward with an angle theta

Answer 5

than that would be 45

Answer 6

Yeah and now we are firing from a height h

Answer 7

it would be different because the y component would be zero later than when fired from ground

Answer 8

Didn't see it was launched from a different height.

Answer 9

Yeah that's what makes the difference
