To calculate the range of an object, we need to know the initial velocity (V₀) and the final velocity (V) of the object. The range refers to the horizontal distance traveled by the object.
Assuming no air resistance and a level surface, the range (R) can be calculated using the following formula:
R = (V₀^2 - V^2) / (2 * g),
where g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s²).
It's important to note that this formula assumes that the object is launched and lands at the same height, without considering any variations in height during its trajectory. If there are significant height differences or other factors such as air resistance, this simple formula may not accurately represent the range of the object.
