Maximum range is obtained at a 45 degree launch angle, and equals Vo^2/g.
Vo is the launch velocity and g is the acceleration of gravity.
In this case it is 10.1 km.
a gun fires a shell with a speed of 315m/s. Neglecting the effects of air resistance, calculate the maximum range of this gun

Oh okay. But then what kind of kinematics equation would you use?
The maximum range derives from
d = (V^2/g)(sin(µ)^2) where µ = 45º and g = 9.8m/s^2.
d = (V^2/g)(sin(µ)^2) where µ = 45º and g = 9.8m/s^2.
Alright.
Thanks for the help!
