If a projectile is shot at a velocity of #52 m/s# and an angle of #pi/3#, how far will the projectile travel before landing? Physics 2D Motion Projectile Motion 1 Answer ali ergin Feb 13, 2016 #x_(max)~=103,358m# Explanation: #"you can calculate by: "x_(max)=(v_i^2*sin^2 alpha)/(2*g)# #v_i:"initial velocity"# #alpha:" projectile angle"# #g:"gravitational acceleration"# #alpha=pi/3*180/pi=60^o# #sin 60^o=0,866# #sin^2 60^o=0,749956# #x_(max)=(52^2*0,749956)/(2*9,81)# #x_(max)~=103,358m# Answer link Related questions A cannon fires a cannonball horizontally with a speed of 488 m/s.
